Hello! My name is Carolyn, my pronouns are She/They, and I'm a biology major with a pre veterinary option and a minor in chemistry. This is my fourth year at OSU and also my fourth year living on campus (I used to be an RA).
In my position as President of RHA I get to support the other executive officers and area councils in all of their activities and duties across campus. I serve as the chair for general assembly meetings and act as a liaison between RHA, UHDS, other organizations and students!

I am a second year computer science major, and I also serve officer positions at a few other organizations around campus: the Karate Club, the General Engineering Club, the Video Game Development Club, and the Linux Users Group. In my copious amounts of spare time, I like to tinker with software, or go outside and ride my bike, go for a hike, play ultimate frisbee, and badminton.
