News Former Ohio State faculty members among those missing following flooding in Nepal
10tv.comI’ve been following the news ever since hearing about the floods in Nepal, and it has been devastating listening to the stories that have been coming out over the past week since the search and rescue has started.
I never thought that it could somehow become more personal to me other than being a human with loved ones of my own, since I have 0 friends or family from the region. Although it’s been awhile since these professors have been involved within the community, I feel very saddened hearing about this.
As a Fisher student, and even just an OSU student, this hits closer to home. I’ve been mostly more reserved within my classes as sometimes it’s hard to put yourself out there in such a big college, but there are still always people you see and hear about within the community. There is still always talk of the different business classes and what professor classmates and friends have for each class.
Although it is a school with many, many people, in a way… it still feels personal. It would be amazing to somehow be able to do something for Vaasavi and this family during this time, since Rao and Unnava have done so much for many others from the sounds of it. This will definitely be in my thoughts for the foreseeable future. ❤️🙏
