From the wide range of literature available in the university’s libraries to the academic support from professors at Ohio State, I was able to take my first step towards my dream as an international undergraduate student.

These include study abroad programs in the United Kingdom and South Korea, visits to the United Nations Headquarters in New York, trips to explore different U.S. states and their history, and opportunities to explore the city of Columbus.\u003C/p>\u003C/body>\u003C/html>","\u003Chtml>\u003Chead>\u003C/head>\u003Cbody>\u003Cp class=\"bux-paragraph\">I have represented Ohio State at the United Nations Headquarters twice and have led two Korean cultural organizations in India for over a decade.
