The Community Foundation for Crawford County is pleased to introduce Courtney Posey, a 2024 recipient of one of the 19 Doug and Renee Leuthold Scholarship awards.
Courtney, the daughter of Gregory Neil Hildebrand and Kathleen Suzanne Hildebrand, is a 1999 graduate of Bucyrus High School. She is in her third year of a Master's Degree in Social Work at Ohio University.
What is your favorite aspect of college life and why?
"I love to learn new things and participate in the higher education process. I believe myself to be a lifelong student, and while that does not always mean going to school or college, in this case, it does mean that. I am growing and learning as an individual through this project. I am so grateful for this opportunity.
What new interests or courses of study have you discovered at college?
"My undergrad was in American History. My Master's is in Social Work, so I have learned a lot about sociology and psychology in my career at Ohio University."
In what way has the college experience changed/improved you?
"I am especially learning time management skills and how to have balance in my life."
What advice would you give an incoming college freshman?
"I would tell an incoming student to take things one day at a time and not to get overwhelmed."
What is one item on your bucket list and why?
"I want to get married in a hot air balloon."
Congratulations and good luck in the future, Courtney!
