I am pleased to share the transformative journey I experienced during my international exchange program at the UNCW - University of North Carolina Wilmington, undoubtedly the most enriching five months of my life. Undertaking this exchange with a primary goal of expanding my academic horizons in Economics, I was met with an ideal environment at UNCW. The university's world class campus culture became the backdrop for valuable connections and lifelong friendships. Engaging in cross-cultural dialogues not only broadened my worldview but also offered insights extending far beyond the classroom. Participation in events, projects, or extracurricular activities added an extra layer of depth to my overall experience, fostering personal and intellectual growth. From navigating a new academic system to adapting to a different cultural landscape, each challenge presented an invaluable opportunity for personal and intellectual growth. The ability to embrace change and uncertainty has become a cornerstone of my skill set, positioning me as a more adaptable and resilient professional. My heartfelt gratitude goes to the faculty, staff, and fellow students at UNCW, who made this experience truly memorable. Reflecting on this transformative experience, all the experiences, life lessons, and knowledge gained during my time at UNCW have shaped, above all, the person I have become today. Furthermore, they have profoundly influenced and continue to impact my academic and professional journey. Once again, I express my gratitude to UNCW for allowing me the opportunity to live the American Dream. #UNCW #InternationalExchange #GlobalEducation #AmericanDream #AcademicJourney #PersonalGrowth

Every year since 1995, the National Science Foundation’s Faculty Early Career Development Program has awarded five-year grants to junior faculty members who serve as academic role models in research and education. These grants, which are known as CAREER awards, are some of the most prestigious available to early-career researchers and often serve as a foundation for an illustrious career in research. Rice University psychologist Danielle King will use her 2023 CAREER award of $530,000 to examine how organizations can support employees who are facing race-based threats — and what strategies employers could use to prevent them from happening altogether. https://bit.ly/3KmQtjm

It’s always great going back to campus! Last week I spoke on a panel to Saint Louis University students in the Micah Program Service Learning Community about career readiness and the importance of having professionals who are civically engaged. The students had a lot of great questions about how their community service today will help them in their careers and beyond. I can’t wait to see how high these Micahs soar. #SLU #Billikens #CareerPanel #NextGeneration

Here’s to a new chapter(:

Students enrolled in Pearl Careers' CLS Classes are guided to show respect and admiration towards others, not solely in response to how they are treated, but as a reflection of our culture of honor. Our guiding principle is simple: "Respect isn't contingent on reciprocity; we express respect because our culture is rooted in honor." #careerclarityandlifeskillseducation #careerclarity #lifeskillsforkids #qualityeducation #socialacumen #socialimpact #socialemotionallearning #sdgs2030 #sdg4 #sdgs #shapethefuture #shapingthefuture #holisticeducation #holisticlearning #pearlcareers
