OSU alum Cheering in the NFL

Monday, August 8th, 2011

It’s one thing to be a great athlete or a great academic. It’s another to be both. Lindsey Yoder (’09, BS in ChemicalEngineering) was always a dedicated student, having been involved in the Chemical, Biological, & Environmental Engineering Student Club, the OSUAthletic Club, and the college’s ambassador program. Now, the OSU graduate is an automation engineer at Merck and a top-notch athlete. She recently made the Carolina Panthers 2011 cheerleading squad and will make a two-hour drive twice a week for cheerleading practice.

We want to congratulate Lindsey and wish her good luck in both interests. Go Beavers!
