My dudes.
Figured out some of the people I'll be working with at tOSU... as a TA/RA in the fall. Obviously, I'll be working with certain faculty... but in the Fall, I am assisting two lecturers with a "Written and Oral Communications" master's-level class.
One of the lecturers has 8 years of experience with the Ohio Dept. of Education, so I think that will be a great opportunity to make connections in Columbus and statewide.
The other works in Compliance at tOSU... He has a law degree from Stanford. He clerked for then-assistant-AG Eric Holder while in law school. Prior to that, at Columbia, he was a TA/RA for George Stephanopoulos.
In the spring, once I have more classroom experience, I will TA with faculty from my college and hopefully take over the class more and more. I think the chance to instantly have those connections outside of my faculty will be great, and I will be working with what seems like two pretty impressive people.
