We want to wish all ODU students, staff and faculty a Merry Christmas and safe holiday season! 🎄 We have a lot to be thankful for here at ODU, but here are just a few 2023 highlights from the grad office.

Thanks to Shonna Riedlinger and Aaron Grabovich, CAA, among other key players, we welcomed our first cohort of 25 students to the Master of Science in Anesthesiologist Assistant Studies program in January 2023.

Sr. JoAnn Hohenbrink worked with our Columbus City Schools - Ohio partners to offer CCS teachers the opportunity to earn their Pre-K-12 TESOL Endorsement free of charge. Special thanks to Michaela Huffman for her time and effort in answering the vast sea of inquiries and reviewing three cohorts worth of applications!

Thanks to the efforts of Natalie Chang and Chialing Jones, we were able to welcome more graduate international students to campus this year than ever before!

We have a wonderful and dedicated team here at ODU, as well as a fantastic group of graduate students. We look forward to seeing what's in-store for ODU next year!

Location, location, location. Have we mentioned lately how much we LOVE being in the city of Columbus? To us, there’s no better place to be than in the nation’s 14th largest city. Our location just 10 minutes from the heart of downtown means our students have easy access to job and internship opportunities – and so much more! If you’re a student or alumni, how did studying in Columbus enhance your experience?

Meet Professor Aaron Grabovich! Aaron is the Director of the Anesthesiologist Assistant Studies program here at Ohio Dominican University. The ODU community was thrilled to have Aaron join us in 2021, as he helped to build our MSAA program. The disciplines that Aaron covers in his graduate courses are science, medical, and anesthesiology.

When asked what Aaron has most enjoyed about his experience here at ODU so far, Aaron said, “The community at large. The ODU difference is something that is evident from your first day on campus. The family friendly, faith-based mission and institution really provides for a sense of belonging when on campus. The institution thrives because of the fantastic students we have on campus, the great support staff, faculty, leadership and our board of trustees!”

Aaron's advice to prospective graduate students: “Graduate school is an entire new adventure. There will be bigger challenges and triumphs, but there will be even greater long-term rewards! Specifically, in my area, graduate medical education is something that will be the most difficult academic and professional navigation with a great professional/career outlook upon completion.”

Aaron’s professional background includes:
Quinnipiac University- Adjunct Pharmacology lecturer
Mt. Carmel Health- Allied Health Credentials Committee
Jerome Township- Zoning Commission board member
LifeWise Academy- Previous steering committee chair/interim program director, Board member

"In my prior academic journey, I was fortunate enough to help publish and edit a Pharmacology textbook chapter, as well as be published on our work in molecular and cancer biology."

Aaron’s favorite hobbies/activities to do outside of work:
“I am married to my beautiful wife, Alana! We have 4 children, and I really enjoy spending time with my family! One of my favorite things to do is to coach each of my children and help serve as a mentor to their sports teams each season!! A word of advice to all: ensure you pick a profession and career where you can have a good work: life balance, so you are able to enjoy hobbies and activities outside of work!”
