- Usman Suerkulov (RUS 2120) took 1st place in the Heritage Learners category.

- Alivia Chaplin (RUS 3120 & RUS 3560) took 3rd place in the Level 3 (Third-Year Russian) category.
All the OHIO students dedicated a month to a very rigorous and time-consuming preparation. Special thanks to Academic Advisor Tetyana Dovbnya for her great dedication and numerous hours spent with the first-year students in preparation for the competition. Moreover, she went to Wooster to accompany them and served as a judge for one of the panels.
“I think that you would agree with me that for such a small program as ours, this is a huge success and it proves the vitality of our program,” said Russian Lecturer Mila Shevchenko.
