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!

When Molter goes to work, there’s a chance he’ll bump into three-time NBA All-Star Brandon Roy for example, or maybe LaMarcus Aldridge or ex-NBA great Terry [...]

Thursday, December 30th, 2010

If you spent the entire year researching glaciers, in Antarctica, this list will give you a recap of what you missed. It probably goes without saying, but this is far from comprehensive.
