Abstract

We are a student organization at Ohio State that brings over 200 1st-5th graders from Columbus City Schools to campus each week. They are paired one-on-one with a college student mentor whom they see every week. We do structured activities focused on higher education, community service, and diversity. We do our best to be good role models and help broaden their horizons.
