Sunday Filming

I had to work today for a few hours in the afternoon. Never one of my favorite things to do. But at least it was something kinda fun.

Remember the scholarship process - where I had to screen through hundreds of applications? Well, the top 15 were picked, recently informed of their $95,000 scholarship and now we must try to recuit them. They will be getting offers from Stanford, Brown, Northwestern, MIT, Georgetown, and NYU - to name a few. We are filming personal messages from each of their OSU hosts to be put on flash drives, along with a message from President Gee. A recruiting gift from OSU - in hopes they will all decide to become Buckeyes in the fall. We usually get about a 50% yield. We lose them to the Ivy's.

I told them all to wear anything scarlet and gray. Too bad we couldn't get this kid's shoes.
This is the foyer of the Honors House - I spend a lot of time here, although my office is next door. It's a beautiful, old house that used to be the University President's house. Then they all got smart and decided the President should not live on campus.
