2017 Ohio State Newark Homecoming Court
Court members are chosen based on their academic success, leadership qualities, spirit, integrity and achievement through their contributions and involvement at Ohio State Newark. The Court selection process begins with a paper application. Based on application scores and GPA, individual interviews are offered and conducted by the Campus Homecoming Committee. The scores from the paper application and interview are combined and the court is announced. The student body will then vote on the queen and king. The announcement and coronation of the Newark Homecoming Court Queen and King takes place on the day before the Homecoming game at the Ohio State Longaberger Alumni House in Columbus.

Franchesica KiddYear: Senior A class that changed my life: History 2001 (Launching America) with Dr. Weeks. I was a Business major but deep down I love history, and being in the class really opened my heart and mind to the opportunity of a different career path...after taking this class, I knew my true calling was history and changed my major. Best college experience so far: Working for Dr. Murphy as her student assistant. I’m able to have a behind-the-scenes look at what it’s like to be a professor and how busy their lives get... from their research to class readings/assignments. Since my goal is to be a professor, it’s an amazing opportunity to have hands on experience to prepare. One piece of advice: I know people say this often, but definitely stay on top of your assignments and don’t wait until the last minute to write a paper. Don’t add any unnecessary stresses to a pre-existing busy life. Favorite TV show: The Vampire Diaries and Law & Order: SVU Favorite movie: It’s between Moana, Some Like It Hot and The Tender Trap. Favorite song: Anything by Frank Sinatra and Bing Crosby, Clair de Lune by Debussy, and Ghetto Gospel by 2Pac Student Involvement:
What does it mean to be a Buckeye: To me, being a Buckeye means accepting one another through our diversity with appreciating and embracing everyone and their differences that they bring to the Ohio State community.

Brian WilliamsHometown: Beavercreek, Ohio A class that changed my life: One of the classes that changed my life so far was my Comparative Studies class with Stephen J Evans. In that class, I learned that being in college allows you to have more freedom that you had in high school, and that you are your own boss and must dictate what you want in your life. Best college experience so far: My best college experience that I had so far was meeting a group of people I know call my friends. When I got to college, I was at first a little scared that I wouldn’t fit in and that I would be a loner, but meeting all my current friends on campus changed that entirely. I am now more confident in my actions because of that. One piece of advice: The one piece of advice I can say and give out is that you shouldn’t be scared. You have the whole world ahead of you, and even though it may seem like the world has it in for you, there’s still a greater outcome for you. Never give up and always keep pushing. Favorite TV show: Top Gear Favorite movie: Fast and Furious Tokyo Drift Favorite song: American Girl by Ta-ku |
