Send A Cowboy Abroad | HLI

Thank you for supporting Send a Cowboy Abroad and investing in experiences that can shape a student’s life far beyond their time at OSU. I have the privilege of seeing what happens when students step outside what is familiar. The confidence they gain, the questions they begin to ask, and the possibilities they start to see for themselves.

Your generosity helps ensure more students have the chance to experience those moments. I’m grateful that you chose to be part of their story.

Every gift, at every level helps provide students with opportunities to experience new cultures, broaden their perspectives, build confidence, and grow as globally minded leaders.

With gratitude,
Yokolanda Speight
Assistant Director, Hargis Leadership Institute
