Lauren Sutherland.174 (she/her)

Megan Goebel.76 (she/her)

 

My name is Megan Goebel and I am serving as an Interns Coordinator for the 2021-22 school year! I am a 3rd year student studying Speech and Hearing Science with a minor in Neuroscience. After graduation, I plan to get my masters in Speech Language Pathology and my goal career would be to work as an SLP in a private practice office for kids. I joined USG because I was very involved in Student Government in high school and wanted to find an organization with a strong sense of community that would also allow me to make a difference on campus, work on things I’m passionate about and grow as a leader. So far in USG, I have been a member of the Health and Safety committee and served as Deputy Director of Mental Wellness last year, which gave me the opportunity to work on a lot of projects related to giving students more access to and awareness of available mental health resources on campus. Some other things I am involved in on campus include being the Director of Sisterhood for my sorority, Alpha Gamma Delta, as well as being a member of the National Student Speech Language Hearing Association.

Recruitment Coordinator:

Ian Logan.439 (he/him)

 

I'm a third year majoring in Political Science, and I joined USG because I saw it as the best way for me to make a real change to campus. Not only has it provided me to the tools do to so, but it's also been an amazing experience both professionally and socially. I started in the Student Affairs Issues Committee, and the following year I was its Deputy Director for Off-Campus. That year I worked on projects such as the Renter's Guide and Resource Fair, while also collaborating with groups such as OCCSS and COTA. This year, I am working within Internal Operations as a Recruitment Coordinator where I develop and plan various activities and events within the organization, primarily pertaining to New Members. In my free time, I enjoy playing various games and playing my trombone. I'm also a huge nerd for both Star Trek and Marvel. Feel free to reach out and chat!

Service and Philanthropy Coordinator: Ming Lei.330 (he/him)
I am a sophomore pursuing a dual degree in finance and economics, and I would like to pursue an MBA and/or a JD in the future. I joined USG because I wanted to be more involved here at OSU, and I felt that the student government would be a good medium to do that. I have currently not accomplished in anything as I joined last semester and was not as involved as I wanted to be.
