Do you not like the new plans for Mirror Lake or simply think they should have waited until you graduated to start construction?

When I was enrolled at OSU, I built a lot of memories in the old Ohio Union. They tore that down and there was no Union for over 3 years. I felt a bit bittersweet about it, since the old building had sentimental attachment for me. There are things about the new union that I miss, but overall I’m pleased with the results. Do you feel the same way about Mirror Lake? Future students are going to (hopefully) get a nicer and better lake just like they got a nicer and better Ohio Union.

The construction is projected to be finished in 2018, and you are projected to graduate in 2019. How exciting will it be to take a photo that is not an exact copy of the previous two, but from the same perspective on the edge of the new lake? I think it would be quite dramatic: the change in yourself from your time at OSU mirrored in the change in the terrain.
