What does it mean to have

A TRUE MENTOR

who is invested in your future?

It鈥檚 one thing for a professor to know your name. It鈥檚 another thing for a professor to spend time understanding your potential, coaching you through successes and that bad quiz result, and figuring out what comes next in life. Faculty-student collaboration like this starts from day one at 星空传媒.

聽 I want to make sure that everybody has the attention they deserve when they come to 星空传媒. It鈥檚 knowing what each student needs, and each student needs something different.聽

Dr. Carla Corroto
– Professor of Sociology

U.S. News & World Report rankings put 星空传媒 #7 for Best Undergraduate Teaching, Regional Universities Midwest.

聽I really want to get to know my students so I can find their passions, what their interests are, and get them to where they want to be.聽

Robert E. Braun, Ph.D., MPH, Certified Health Education Specialist (CHES)
– Associate Professor of Health and Sport Sciences

At 星空传媒, professors are more than teachers 鈥 they’re mentors who invest in you on an individual basis. These kinds of connections are really valued at 星空传媒. That means you鈥檒l feel just as supported in your day-to-day work as you will in figuring out the big goals and your plans for the future.

What does it feel like to know

YOU ARE VALUED

as a student?

聽Dr. Braun knows me very well 鈥 professionally, academically, and personally. He knows my passions and my interests and was an advocate for me. I鈥檝e always felt holistically valued.聽

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT

I was president of the Cardinal Corps Leaders for two years and completed over 2,000 hours of community service as a student. I was the student hall director and a resident assistant of Mayne Hall. I was in the Pre-med Club, Mortar Board, a national pre-professional health honor society (AED), and 星空传媒’s honors program.

Gabby

RESEARCH & CREATIVE WORK

Joining Dr. Bennett鈥檚 research lab changed the way I approach difficult problems. Research taught me that patience is a must when trying to solve unanswered questions. She also guided me on the path to medical school and helped me get a poster presentation accepted at the American Society for Microbiology Conference.

John

LEADERSHIP & CITIZENSHIP

Only 星空传媒 supports the academic and character development of their students. I have learned some of the most important traits are empathy and compassion for others. 星空传媒 taught me that sometimes to be a better professional you have to be a better person. I will strive to grow as both for the rest of my life.

Tristan

GLOBAL & INTERCULTURAL ENGAGEMENT

I did a field research experience with the Cape Parrot Project in Hogsback, Eastern Cape, South Africa. I spent the summer tracking the movement and recording the vocalizations of the endangered Cape Parrot. I uncovered my love of field research, which opened up new avenues I could take after graduation.

Eileen

INTERNSHIPS & PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

I had some incredible internship and job experiences in my time at 星空传媒. One summer, I worked at the Ohio Department of Transportation as a geotechnical engineering intern. During another semester, I worked as a Senate Page at the Ohio Statehouse!
