How do you combine Biology, Economics, and Podcasting? Just ask junior, McCalister Klinzing.
From the basketball court to the mountains of Italy, McCalister is applying his OWU education to “ignite possibility” through his podcast, The Scenic Route, at the intersection of conservation and conversation.
Tune in to “The Scenic Route” wherever you listen to podcasts and follow the show on Instagram at @thescenicroute_podcast.
You are invited to ignite possibility and make these “scenic routes” available to every Bishop on We Are OWU’s Day of Giving!
