In this episode of Doc’s Download, Dr. Melissa “Doc” Shivers explores what it really means to get involved and lead at Ohio State — beyond titles and positions. Joining Doc are three guests who bring their own unique perspectives on student engagement:

• Dr. Scott Brown, Managing Director of Buckeye Commons
• Serena Rabi, fourth-year student leader
• Melanie Riether, fourth-year student and Rec Sports team member

Together, they unpack the many pathways to involvement — from student organizations to campus employment — and share how these experiences shape leadership, confidence and community. Whether you’re just starting your Buckeye journey or looking to take the next step, this episode will inspire you to engage, grow, and make your mark.
