“The Graduate Engineering Open House at The Ohio State University expelled my fear of pursuing my Ph.D. That day, I was able to meet my current OSU advisor during her graduate students' poster presentations, hear experiences from two students from my state during the graduate student panel, and see the breathtaking campus for myself. Most importantly, I saw a glimpse of my future support system, which helped me realize that OSU values women of color in all roles and professions.” – Erin, 2019 attendee
