Nuthan Deodhar ’01 : Director of Finance, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)
What was your path to graduation at The Ohio State University?
I came in as an arts and sciences major. I wasn't really sure what I wanted to study but I signed up for Honors Accounting and really liked it. It was a good fit and the people in the program were close-knit. I graduated with a degree in business administration.
Why do you support the Office of Diversity and Inclusion?
I did receive some scholarship aid from the Office of Diversity and Inclusion. I feel a lot more connected to the office now, and I'm hoping to give back and be a part of the office. Representation is important, and I'm happy to be a part of that network now.
What do you do now?
I work for NOAA on the financial and accounting side of things. I oversee four divisions managing accounting operations, financial reporting, compliance and policy, and financial systems. It's very exciting to be part of such a cool mission. I'm also a tennis Mom and a yoga practitioner.
What is your advice for current students?
It's a journey. Your path will never be completely clear, and that's okay.
