Christiana Ukeagu, a philosophy major in the College of Liberal Arts, plans to put her OSU education to work on behalf of the two places she considers home: Africa and the United States. A native of Nigeria who immigrated to the U.S. a decade ago, she is passionate about shaping policies that will improve life in Africa. "Being involved with OSU's Black Cultural Center, the Student Senate, and the African Students Association has shown me that I can effect change," she says.
Each year, about 80 OSU College of Pharmacy graduates take their places on the front lines of the American health care system.
