Marching Band a ‘special opportunity’ for MHA student

Selin Timur came to Columbus with one goal in mind: she wanted to play the baritone in The Ohio State University Marching Band. 

Getting in was stiff competition. She tried out twice before achieving her goal, an experience she said only made her want it more. Since making the cut her junior year, fall semesters have been marked by long practices memorizing new half time shows and additional daily preparation on her own time.

The Student: Alpha Mansaray

Ohio State wasn’t one of my top choices. In fact, I had already interviewed with several other programs and received acceptances from my top two choices by the time I was offered an interview by the Master of Health Administration (MHA) program at Ohio State. First, I accepted the interview, then I canceled. But something inside told me, “you never know what might happen.”
