The OWU Connection is designed to help students think big (understand issues from multiple academic disciplines), go global (gain international perspective), and get real (translate classroom knowledge into real-world experience).

The program includes Theory-to-Practice Grants, Travel-Learning Courses, mentored research, internships and more. Learn more about The OWU Connection at www.owu.edu/owuconnection.

Matthews completes internship

Ryan Matthews, of Leesburg, recently completed an internship with the American Farm Bureau Federation in Washington, D.C.

During his internship, Matthews used his communication skills to assist in a range of projects.
