"Cream of the Crop"

Yoonhee Ha has fit a lot into her time at Ohio State.

A triple major in microbiology, finance, and Korean with a minor in political science, Ha has worked as a student trustee, studied immunology, and volunteered not only in Columbus but also in eastern Africa, where she worked with HIV-positive patients.

Ha's hard work has paid off: She is the recipient of a prestigious Marshall Scholarship, which will pay her expenses as she studies at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine. Ha, who was named a Truman Scholar last year, also made USA Today's All-USA College Academic First Team. Her goal is to become a physician who cares for under served patients.

“As my time at Ohio State comes to an end, I'm grateful to everyone who helped me to make the most of my experiences here," she says. "I've been reminded time and time again of how fortunate I am to be a Buckeye and how much Ohio State has to offer its students. The faculty, staff, and administration really do invest in students, not just for when they are here, but as they pursue their dreams and life's work."

Ha is one of many Ohio State scholars who've won awards--such as the Fulbright, Goldwater, and Truman--that were once the domain of Ivy League schools. Now, the Honors Collegium helps students apply for and win national scholarships and awards, a boon to the university's academic reputation.

Congratulations to Yoonhee Ha and all of Ohio State's top scholars.
