Welcome to the August edition of “Meet Your Model,” featuring Ohio University students, alumni, faculty and staff that have stepped in to serve as models on The Bobcat Store website, the official retailer of the Ohio University Alumni Association!

This month, Carlie Tianello is our featured Bobcat, graduating in May of 2020. She is majoring in Political Science and working towards a minor in both History and Communication Studies. We asked Carlie about her experiences so far at Ohio University:

What led you to attend Ohio University?
I have never met an OHIO alumni that didn’t LOVE their alma mater, and after hearing high praises about the University from friends and family, I interviewed on campus to join the Cutler Scholars Program. I was captivated by the historic architecture and gorgeous College Green and knew I had found my school.

What is your fondest memory of OHIO so far?
My favorite day every year has been Homecoming! I love meeting alumni, enjoying the parade with friends, and dressing in our favorite green and white attire.

What is your favorite place on campus?
My favorite place on campus is The Front Room. It is the perfect place to study and grab coffee no matter what the season. With the beautiful balcony outside and the cozy feeling inside, it’s a great place to stop in between classes.

What do you want to do after you graduate from OHIO?
I am interested in pursuing a career in government and specializing in education policy or possibly pursuing a graduate degree.
