Involvement on Campus: Block “O” President, Ohio State Rec Sports graphic design intern
HC: What do you do as President of Block “O”?
JP: As the Block “O” President, I ensure that the organization is represented well throughout the university community. I manage the day-to-day operations of the organization and I serve on multiple campus-wide committees. As the executive head, it is my responsibility to be knowledgeable of every position on our Executive Board.
HC: What is your favorite part of being President of Block O?
JP: My favorite part about being the President of Block “O” is knowing that I (and my Executive Board) am making an impact on our vast campus. This is something that not many students have the opportunity to do at the magnitude that I do, and I am very grateful to my predecessors for allowing me to continue the great tradition of the largest student organization at Ohio State.
HC: What would you tell someone who’s interested in being in Block O?
JP: Come to an event and hang out! We are an open organization to all students, and we do much more than just cheer at sporting events. We have bi-monthly meetings and social events, we are a top fundraising group for BuckeyeThon, and we have some cool membership perks! Plus, you can say you are a member of the largest student org, and one of the best student sections in the nation!

HC: Do you ever get exhausted from attending so many athletic events?
JP: I don’t get tired of going to so many events, but working them can get exhausting! Being on the Block “O” board sometimes requires a different mindset than the typical fan. I am happy when the student sections are running smoothly and my peers are having a good time; a Buckeye victory is an added bonus!
HC: What is one fun fact about you?
JP: I was always the youngest person in my class in grade school, and I haven’t met a fourth-year student that is younger than me yet!
HC: What is your favorite thing about OSU?
JP: My favorite thing about Ohio State (and the reason why I came here) is the pride we have for our University. I feel emotionally tied to the campus and I am very proud to bleed scarlet and gray. I think that is something that students at other universities can’t say about their schools.
HC: What is one thing you want to do before you graduate?
JP: I really want to visit the underground tunnels on campus, it seems like fun!
HC: What do you want to do once you leave OSU?
JP: Once I leave Ohio State, I’ll hopefully be in a good position to earn employment as a graphic designer in sports. I love Columbus and I’d really like to stay here after I graduate.
