Generosity empowers students like McCalister Klinzing '28 to say “yes” to the unexpected. This past year, Cal launched The Scenic Route, a podcast exploring unconventional careers and connecting worlds that rarely meet. Projects like Cal's prove that when creativity, intellect, and initiative are fostered at OWU, the possibilities are endless.

As part of We Are OWU, a brand-new episode of The Scenic Route is dropping during the campaign, featuring our very own Christopher Mickens, OWU’s Interim Director of Public Safety. The episode highlights meaningful connections across campus and reflects the spirit of community that annual giving helps make possible every day. Much like the impact Christopher has had on so many of us, We Are OWU empowers members of our community to make a difference on campus, wherever they are.

Cal’s venture has been made possible through experiences and programs powered by annual giving.
