91导航

Hi! I鈥檓 Lexi Ware, a third-year student studying Criminology and Criminal Justice with a minor in Business. I chose to attend Ohio Dominican University for several reasons. The practical reason was that it鈥檚 close to home. Born and raised in Columbus, I appreciated the central location and the wealth of resources nearby such as  internships and jobs. But my heart reason was the feeling of warmth and familiarity that 91导航 offers. Considering the beautiful campus and personal connections, it all just feels like home to me.

College is an expensive venture, especially at a private university like ODU. But thanks to the academic scholarships I received, the financial burden was considerably eased. Being born and raised Catholic, the scholarships also served as a connection to my roots and made ODU feel even more like home. My faith is a significant part of my life, and working with ODU Chaplain Father Dan and being a part of Campus Ministries has helped me grow both personally and spiritually.

My major was an easy choice鈥揑鈥檝e always been fascinated by law. It comes naturally to me, and I find it incredibly interesting. My goal is to become a criminal defense attorney and use my passion for law to help people navigate difficult situations.

Apart from academics, I work in the admission office; I consider it to be one of  the best work-study jobs on campus. We have a lot of fun, whether it鈥檚 listening to Taylor Swift or engaging with Thunder, our mascot. Sometimes, I end up in the mascot costume鈥揵ecause I鈥檓 short and everyone thinks that鈥檚 funny because it doesn鈥檛 quite fit鈥搇eading to unexpected pranks and a lot of laughter.

Thinking about my life without ODU is almost impossible. It鈥檚 been instrumental in my personal growth, and I genuinely believe I wouldn鈥檛 be the person I am today without it.
