I am currently a junior in the intervention specialist program.  I am involved in many clubs here on campus. I currently serve as the Event Planner for Best Buddies Bowling Green, an organization that pairs college students with adults in the community who have disabilities to create one on one friendships and promote inclusion. I am also involved in the Council for Exceptional Children and CHAARG. Outside of school, I enjoy volunteering, being with my family, reading, attending musicals, and painting.  

Joshua Bock is a first-year student at Bowling Green State University. He was born in Cologne, Germany, where he spent the first 11 years of his life.
