Meet Nilceu Nazareno, PhD, an Ohio State alum who received his doctorate in plant pathology in 1992

"My experience as a graduate student at Ohio State was fantastic in all aspects, scientifically and for life. I had full support from all professors and staff of the department, as well as from students, colleagues and roommates. I had a chance to serve in the Graduate Students Committee, giving me a chance for significant interaction with all people from Plant Pathology, as well as other related departments on behalf of the students. In 1990, I shared with another student, Michael E. Boehm, the Clyde C. Allison Award, as outstanding student, which gave me great motivation to continue harder with the work."

How can the Gateways support prospective students?

Larissa Migotto Brandolt is a prospective student that has been admitted to begin her PhD program in political science at The Ohio State University Autumn 2021.

"As I was looking for PhD programs at U.S. universities this year, I had two positive surprises when I discovered The Ohio State University. The first was the Ohio State’s Brazil Gateway. Since my first email to Jane Aparecido, the office’s director, she has been extremely helpful in looking for programs and resources to encourage me to apply to Ohio State. It was because of her help that I found out my second positive surprise within the university — the Graduate Immersion Conference (GIC), hosted by the Department of Political Science."
