? A Summer at Berkeley: A Transformative Experience ? Last year, I had the privilege of participating in a 3-week Summer Program at the University of Berkeley, California ????. This intensive program, combining English courses and cultural immersion, marked a turning point in my personal and professional journey. Why choose Berkeley? Because this university embodies innovation and excellence. More than just a place of learning, it is a hub of ideas and diversity, where every interaction encourages you to expand your horizons ??. What did I gain from this experience? A strengthened mastery of English, beyond just words: a new way of thinking and communicating. A profound understanding of American culture, characterized by dynamism, individualism, and innovation. And most importantly, an open-mindedness and adaptability that only an international immersion can provide. This experience also exposed me to a diversity of perspectives, pushing me to challenge my assumptions and see the world in a new light. Beyond academics, I learned the importance of collaborating with people from various cultures, which has transformed the way I approach work and life in general. Would I recommend such an experience? Without hesitation. Programs like this offer more than just language skills: they foster curiosity, resilience, and a global mindset that is essential in our ever-evolving world. If you ever have the opportunity to embark on such an adventure, go for it! ?? #Berkeley #Education #CulturalImmersion #PersonalDevelopment #InternationalExperience #Innovation

In the latest issue of Kaplan's Bold Learning newsletter, just out today: Over the past decade, the percentage of Americans expressing confidence in #highereducation has plummeted. Meanwhile, getting into highly selective #collegesanduniversities has become much more competitive – even as these traditional #highered institutions face a demographic cliff. Add to the mix intense political and cultural polarization on campus, uncertainty about the impact of #AI around career pathways, and student loan debt – all feeding into the chorus of “Is college worth it?” skeptics. This convergence of issues set the stage for an insightful discussion at the #asugsvsummit earlier this month, moderated by @Lee Weiss, Kaplan's chief commercial officer for higher education. Panelists included: @Jamie Merisotis, president and CEO of @Lumina Foundation; @Carol Kim, Ed.D, vice president of global recruitment, admissions and financial aid, @New York University; @Charles Iacovou, dean of professional studies, @Wake Forest University; and @Daniel Nivern, CEO & co-founder, @Virtual Internships. Also: An infographic based on research from @The Brookings Institution reveals how published tuition, commonly known as 'sticker prices,' which has traditionally set expectations for the cost of college, is often misleading. https://lnkd.in/eyKqAfxD

As I prepare for my graduate studies, I’ve immersed myself in numerous books focusing on neuroscience and racial disparities. I highly recommend the following books for my fellow applicants navigating through this journey: ??“Imposter No More: Overcome Self-Doubt and Imposterism to Cultivate a Successful Career” by Jill Stoddard, Ph.D. - ?It is a common experience to feel inadequate while applying for opportunities, especially for those within marginalized groups. However, practicing self-compassion by giving yourself grace and acknowledging past achievements can help minimize these negative feelings. ?? “NeuroLogic: The Brain’s Hidden Rationale Behind Our Irrational Behavior” by Eliezer Sternberg – A captivating read for those intrigued by the brain’s complex nature. This book dissects the reasoning for our everyday behavior and explains the mechanism of many neurological disorders. ?? “Why are All the Black Kids Sitting Together in the Cafeteria” by Beverly Daniel Tatum – ?A profound exploration of racial disparities and the essential role of community and meaningful dialogue to create more inclusive environments. ?? “Sipping Dom Perignon Through a Straw: Reimagining Success as a Disabled Achiever” by Eddie Ndopu - An inspiring autobiography of perseverance. Eddie describes how he defied all odds by outliving his life expectancy (of five years) by over 25 years to become the first disabled Black man to earn a master’s degree in public policy at Oxford. I hope you find these resources useful. Good luck to everyone amidst the application process. #internships #engineering #graduateschool #education #applications

George Mason University gave me so many incredible opportunities as an undergraduate. Speaking as an alumnus and its 2024 Spring Commencement student speaker, here are my top three tips for current students: 1.) Find faculty mentors. David K. Rehr, PhD, Eric Shiraev, Atif Qarni, and so many other incredible faculty at George Mason University have mentored me in different ways. These relationships have also led to unique professional development opportunities such as internships. My undergraduate internships at Character Assassination and Reputation Politics Research Lab and Qarni for Congress were gained directly from faculty networking with Eric Shiraev and Atif Qarni respectively. 2.) Get involved in student leadership. Through my work in George Mason Student Government, I became very well connected with university administrators and, more importantly, accomplished significant projects like co-planning Mason Lobbies for several years and organizing two tuition town halls. These accomplishments helped build my confidence as an emerging professional and opened the door for future opportunities such as being selected as the Spring 2024 Commencement student speaker. 3.) Get involved in associations and honor societies. I'm a member of National Institute for Lobbying & Ethics, NIRSA, The National Résumé Writers' Association, and The National Society of Leadership and Success (NSLS). All four of those affiliations have given me opportunities to expand my network, develop my professional image, keep up with industry trends, upskill in my field, and more. Although many associations and honor societies require membership dues, I've found that the ones I've been a part of present a strong return on investment. Others in #ClassOf2024, what else did I miss? Feel free to share your wisdom below!

It was an honor to be invited to speak to prospective students at Columbia | SIPA's alumni interaction event in London. Grateful to Cullen Newton for remembering me 2 years later! It gave me an opportunity to reflect on my own decision to apply for this program and how I spent my time at the school. I rarely have any pearls of wisdom to share but here are things I spoke about: - Having some full time experience working in development in any role/sector/space prior to joining the program makes it a lot more valuable. You can curate the learning experience a lot better, identify the people to interact with, the internships to pursue, capstones to select. More importantly, you bring in a worldview to the program that makes it a lot more valuable for your peers. - For international students like me, the hardest part is getting over the imposter's syndrome and putting your hand up. This can range from asking a question, articulating a view point, applying for a research position with your favorite professor (and the list goes on). It is insanely hard at first, but I can assure you that as you do it more it gets progressively easier. - Finally, holding space for disagreement is becoming a lot more difficult in the politically charged atmosphere we live in. A policy school can resemble this atmosphere at its best and its worst at the same time. Quoting Ambassador Hal Wyler from Diplomat, my favorite show to binge watch at the moment, "Talk to everyone. Fail, and fail again. And brush yourself off. And fail again. Because maybe... Maybe"

Bridging Academia and Industry for Accreditation Success! In today's fast-evolving educational landscape, universities must prepare faculty with hands-on business experience while maintaining their academic roles. Implementing industry partnerships, structured internship programs, and consulting opportunities can significantly enhance faculty expertise. For instance, MIT's industry collaboration programs and UC Berkeley's Faculty Entrepreneurial Fellows program offer valuable industry insights while contributing to academic research. Industry-sponsored research projects, professional development programs, and industry-focused sabbaticals further enrich practical knowledge. Stanford's Industry Affiliate Program and USC's encouragement of industry-linked sabbaticals are excellent examples. For faculty without business experience, targeted training and mentorship programs can provide the necessary exposure to meet accreditation standards. These initiatives enhance faculty qualifications and ensure a richer educational experience for students, integrating practical insights into the curriculum. Embracing these strategies can help universities foster a more dynamic and industry-ready academic environment.
