Special Lecture by alumni of the Department of Global Management _Dana Yeleusszi "Speak Ambition with a Challenge"
2024-10-07
On September 2, a special lecture on alumni was held for students in the Department of Global Management. Dana Yeleusszi, a 16-year-old graduate of the Department of Global Management from Kazakhstan, gave a lecture on how she could get a job at McKinsey and what she gained from working for four years. Furthermore, she gave her thoughts on the process of successful MBA admission and the mindset that classmates who are currently listening to the lecture should have, freely responding to questions and answers with classmates, and showing new insights on employment and success. | The process of applying to McKinsey Dana started joining McKinsey at Indiana University Kelly School of Business. Her goal at business school was twofold. The first was to gain experience in the United States, where she had never been before, and the second was to be exposed to many different networks. As her goal, she made many friends by interacting with many American professors. Meanwhile, I accidentally connected with an acquaintance who works for McKinsey, and she applied to McKinsey because she was recommended. Through this experience, she emphasized the importance of networks and advised people to be open about different networks because the right networks can come from unexpected places. He said that everything may seem coincidental, but when you look back on your life, you feel that all the connections that extend to where you are now exist. | McKinsey's employment process Dana explained that McKinsey's interview process consists of a total of five interviews and is conducted over three rounds. In particular, McKinsey said that case interviews are important, and that the most important thing is problem-solving skills. She said that she intensively trained problem-solving skills to prepare for the interview and practiced as if she were explaining it to someone without background knowledge. In fact, she added that she prepared the interview with an old lady who had different background knowledge, and that she had the interview in two languages, Russian and English. He stressed that the most important thing about the interview is that McKinsey proves why he should hire her. | McKinsey's strengths and weaknesses Dana cited McKinsey's strength as having to quickly learn various fields to solve the problem he was commissioned to. In particular, citing his experience in consulting mining companies, he explained that he initially had no knowledge of mining, but he visited a real factory, observed how he worked, and tried to derive optimal consulting results through conversations with people who have worked in mines for a long time. He emphasized the importance of constantly asking questions to learn in this process. Many questions asked to people in various fields are very helpful in solving problems. However, Dana said she also experiences stress from having to study many different fields on her own. Consultants generally believe they are "unstable overachievers," as most consultants work tirelessly to reach the top and often stay up all night to learn different fields. Nevertheless, she said that this process was interesting and valuable. | Build unproven parts Dana felt that she needed to learn more about her ultimate dream, so she applied to MBA's at Stanford, Harvard, and MIT. The first way she was able to pass many prestigious MBA's is through top-down narrative. Dana said that you should show your beliefs and actions by describing a moment that changed you or made you happy in your past days. She said that you should build a perspective on what kind of person you want to become in a few decades based on the past to describe the future on your profile and to effectively reveal the goals you want to reach and the belief systems that underlie those goals. The second method is to focus on the parts that have not been proven in documents. The transcript or recommendation letter required when filling out the application is a part that has already been proven as a document. In response, Dana said that the application should contain what is not written in the document but must be delivered. For example, although it is not revealed in documents, such as the reason for the decision to enter the MBA and the story and organizing one's thoughts, it is necessary to build a story that can prove itself as a profile. | Talk about ambition Finally, she emphasized Be ambitious, dream and talk about your own ambitions. She also feels embarrassed to talk about ambitions, but she says that you should always act ambitiously when you are in a position to challenge. When asked by a classmate what her ambition is, Dana answered that she wants to change the industry by participating in a startup with an entrepreneurial spirit. The most important thing in your profile is to show your authentic self. You need to create a profile that proves yourself by telling an honest story about what you think, how you live, and what drives you. Talking about your ambitions can be embarrassing, but it is perhaps the most honest and honest way to reveal yourself.

[Professor Interview] Jeong Moon-ki (Accounting Major) Interview to retire from the retirement age
2024-09-30
1. Hello, professor. Please introduce yourself briefly. Hello, I'm Professor Jeong Moon-ki. I've met you all through intermediate accounting and tax accounting classes, and I've been a advisor to the CPA class, and I ended my retirement age at the end of August. I am your professor, but I am also your senior. I have formed many relationships with Sungkyunkwan University and received many benefits. As a 77th grader in the Department of Trade, I studied at this university and raised my dream at Song Hoe-heon (a certified public accountant), so I was able to achieve my dream as a certified public accountant as a partner of Samil Accounting Firm and the head of quality control. I kept the dream that my supervisor instilled in me during my undergraduate years and got a doctorate from my alma mater, going from vaguely wanting to become a professor to sharing my knowledge and experience with my juniors and helping them realize their dream. I came to school at a late age to achieve that dream, and I was able to realize it at my alma mater. 2. I'm curious about your thoughts on finishing your career as a business school professor. It was a great reward and a real honor for me to achieve my new dream of helping my juniors in my alma mater. I'm just grateful. In the meantime, I have set a goal of achieving more than 10% of all successful applicants while teaching the CPA class, but I am so grateful that I was finally able to achieve this goal and complete my supervisor in this year's CPA exam. 3. What are the achievements in the research field and research activities that the professor is in charge of? I put my top priority on sharing my knowledge and experience in the field with my juniors, and I tried to spend more time teaching classes and teaching the CPA class. In order to contribute my experience academically, I tried to do research that could realistically help improve Korea's accounting system and external audit system. As a result, I was awarded the "Excellent Paper on Management Research" by the Korean Business Association. In addition, when revising the current external audit law, I participated in the advisory faculty to devise major improvements such as the periodic designation system and the standard audit time system, but I am proud that the revision of the external audit law has improved the environment of the external audit system and increased accounting transparency in Korea. 4. Any memorable moments from your long teaching career? Any moments that made you feel rewarded? During my eight-and-a-half-year teaching career at my alma mater, I had many happy moments. As an outside director of POSCO, one of the leading manufacturing companies in Korea, I chaired the board of directors and advised management innovation and participated in many major management decisions. I also chaired the Audit Standards Committee of the Korean Association of Certified Public Accountants, leading to the advancement of accounting audit standards in Korea. However, good things come and go(好事多磨）， I had a hard time, too. I was diagnosed with cancer in early 2020 and underwent surgery for it. Fortunately, I detected it early during the medical examination, and with the help of people around me, I was able to complete the surgery quickly. That's when I remembered the saying that if you lose your health, you lose everything. It was the most difficult time of my life, but I also had a lot of things to be thankful for. At that time, the dean was considerate, so I was able to reduce the burden of class, and Professor Choi Kwan, who was teaching the same subject as me, was considerate for my students to take the video of his lecture, and a professor from another school, who I know, came to my school and gave me a special lecture. At that time, classes were conducted non-face-to-face, but my body was very tired after the surgery, but I was able to cut off little by little to record the lecture and edit it to proceed with the class. Thanks to the help of many people, I was able to finish the semester class safely, and I am very happy to finally recover my health and finish the retirement age. The greatest reward for being a professor is that I can be of service to my students. I come to the lab, have counseling, have a bright look, have news that I passed the CPA exam, and I am pleased again that I have come this way after graduation with the help of graduates who have asked me for directions at important turning points in their lives. 5. Is there a student you met at Sungkyunkwan University that you remember the most? By continuously consulting with me, there are students who have set their career paths and achieved their dream of working overseas by joining Samil Accounting Firm, I worked at the Bank of Korea after passing the exam, and I worked as a certified public accountant, and there are students who finished graduate school in Korea and are in the process of a doctoral degree in the United States as a state-funded student. After graduation, I was asked to officiate my marriage, and I am still meeting my husband and wife for life counseling. In the meantime, many students have passed the CPA exam, but among them, there is a particularly memorable student. There was a student who unexpectedly failed and was greatly disappointed in the examination and decided to give up his dream of becoming an accountant and go a different way. When I listened to it step by step, I found that he had studied a lot. When I met him several times and persuaded him, he said he would try one more time, but the next year he came and said he passed all subjects at once, and he bowed his head saying, "Thanks to you, I was so proud." 6. What kind of plans do you have after leaving office? I have heard that "Korean, English, and math are important until the age of 50, and after that, music, beauty, and physical education are important." When you are young, you develop professionalism and achieve professional achievement based on your knowledge of Korean, English, and mathematics, but after that, you need to pay attention and effort in music, art, and physical education for your body and mind's health. I have been interested in art and culture, such as music and art, for a few years and have tried to come across them often. I am participating in music and art theory and appreciation classes held at the Seoul Arts Center Academy and going to the concert hall often to try to understand more. I also exercise at home by myself every day and go to the gym regularly for personal training. Golf is an exercise that a couple can do together, so I want to enjoy it more often with my wife. Let's put health first, and then I'll think calmly about what I can do to help. 7. Lastly, please say something to the members of Sungkyunkwan University's business school. I want to ask you three things. First, have high dreams and ideals and continue to strive to realize them. I still cherish and engrave the phrase "The highest flying bird looks the farthest" in one of the books "The Dream of a Seagull," which is one of the most impressive books I read in my school days. I hope you will fly high and live a wonderful life. Take a good look at what wings you need to fly high, and prepare those wings step by step in your school days. Second, professionalism is important when entering society, but networking skills, that is, the ability to build and maintain good relationships, are equally essential. Networking skills do not arise all of a sudden one day, but if you always pay attention and make an effort, this becomes an attitude and it is good to continue to become a habit. From today, I hope you will try to make good relationships with your colleagues next to you. Third, cherish your time. This time will never come back once it passes. I recommend that you experience difficulties in society, such as club activities, exchange students, backpackers, and working holidays, as much as possible during your school days. Split your time, read a lot of books, make many friends, and make many fun memories.

Professor Kim Young-sang _Interview on winning the 2024 SKKU Teaching Award
2024-09-23
The SKKU Teaching Award is an honorable award that honors teachers and instructors who have led the improvement of the quality of our university education. Since its first implementation in 2011, a total of 135 people have been selected until last year, and it aims to give pride and honor to teachers and instructors with excellent educational capabilities and to promote and spread motivation for providing quality education. We listened to Professor Kim Young-sang (major in management), the winner of the 2024 SKKU Teaching Award. 1. Hello, professor, please briefly introduce yourself. Hello, I'm Professor Kim Young-sang, currently studying and lecturing on human resources management and labor-management relations in the Department of Business Management. 2. Congratulations on being selected for the 2024 SKKU Teaching Award. Please share your thoughts. I am truly grateful to receive this 2024 Teaching Award. I have thought that I lacked a lot on my own. I think I received this award full of support from the school and good feedback from fellow professors and students. I will continue to do my best to provide lectures that can be more helpful to students. 3. I'm curious about the ongoing research. Or please introduce me to the field you're interested in. My research field is largely about human resources management and labor-management relations. The basic purpose of the research is how the organization can achieve a competitive advantage in managing human resources. Detailed research field of interest is strategic human resource management, employee turnover, diversity, HR Analytics, etc. For example, the research that has been conducted has been conducting research on how to find outstanding human resources in the labor market and how to nurture and motivate them in the organization, and there are studies that are currently underway. Also, there are studies on which employees are changing their jobs, which personnel management systems should be used to prevent their turnover, and how employee turnover is affecting the company. 4. What do you think is the secret to winning the 2024 SKKU Teaching Award this time? I don't think I can tell you that I have a special secret. I think I have been thinking about how to improve my lectures by referring to students' feedback every semester. Therefore, I was able to grasp the good and the shortcomings in my lecture, and I have tried to improve the shortcomings, and thankfully, I think they considered them well. 5. Is there a student you met at Sungkyunkwan University that you remember the most? Or is there an episode that impressed you the most during the class? I remember all the students who actively participated during the lecture. In particular, there was a student who took both HR management and HR Analytics classes, which are my lectures, and I was considering a job related to HR management, so I found an internship opportunity in HR and recommended it. Fortunately, I felt very proud of myself personally to see that I successfully got a job in the field of human resources consulting by showing good results through internships. I will do my best to support what students want to achieve in the future. 6. What are your research plans going forward? Future research is underway on how the use of the employment system affects corporate performance growth during the COVID-19 period. In addition, we will study the compatibility of the human resources system used by companies and investment in automation of work using AI, and various organizational activities that can mitigate the decrease in corporate performance due to employee turnover. In addition, in order to expand the existing research area further, we will also conduct research related to employee negotiations, company-to-business negotiations, and labor-management relations negotiations. 7. Lastly, please say something to the members of Sungkyunkwan University's business school. Thank you so much for this Teaching Award, and I will continue to do my best in research and lectures for the development of my school, the health of my fellow professors, and the success of my students. Thank you.

Lim Ji-hoon(Global Business 17), Interview on the Award for Excellence in Achievement/Research Performance Award
2024-09-12
1. Hello, please introduce yourself first. Hello, I'm Jihoon Lim, majoring in global business administration, and I graduated from school after about 7 years of school. It's a sincere honor to meet you all at this place. 2. I heard that you won the Dean of Excellence Award for your degree acceptance ceremony in the summer of 2024. Please give me a brief acceptance speech. First of all, it is very meaningful and rewarding to be able to present such an honorable award. I was half-hearted when I received a call from the administration office of the business school on the subway and told them that I was going to receive an award. In fact, I didn't think it was a good enough grade to receive an award, and I felt awkward because I didn't have much experience in receiving an award on behalf of everyone. I didn't do my school life with the mindset of receiving an award, but I think I was able to get a big award because I worked hard to take classes every semester and prepare for exams. 3. I heard you graduated with excellent grades! What's your secret or know-how to achieve a good result? I tried not to lose the following 2 habits, and I think I was able to improve my grades a lot through this. First, it's called "Stillness." And the way I wrote it was to gradually expand the scope. For example, if there are seven chapters in total, the first is to study only one chapter per day. Next, I studied the chapters "1,2," "3,4," "5,6,7" one day at a time, followed by the chapters "1,2,3," "4,5,6,7," and finally, the whole chapter of "1,2,3,4,5,6,7" on a daily basis. This is how I learned each chapter a little bit more from the beginning than I did when I studied many chapters at once, and I was able to learn some parts that I didn't understand, and I was able to get some realization from it. The second is "simulation." I think it is necessary to anticipate and prepare for problems on your own, rather than just reading what is written in the textbook. For problem-solving subjects like finance and accounting, I studied by solving as many problems as possible in the class or the problems in the textbook, and for subjects that study various theories and cases like marketing and strategies, I studied by applying these theories to the company's status, rather than simply memorizing the meaning of the concepts of the teaching plan. 4. Are there any activities you participated in during your undergraduate years? Please introduce the most memorable activities. I was a "start-up intern" with school in the spring semester of 2022. It was the "I-core" semester of the Global Management Department, and the CEO of the startup took great care of the commute time and place, so I went to school when there was a school class and worked at the company or from home for any time other than study. At that time, my duties were "user management" and "business expansion," but I remember working very happily because I felt like a real company was applying I-core's marketing and strategic subjects at the same time. Even after the end of the semester, I went on a business trip to New York to introduce our business to professors at American universities, and conducted business consulting with government agencies promoting Korean startups in the U.S., such as KOTRA and KIC. I was able to experience the field of global business beyond Korea. It is a very enjoyable and meaningful experience that I can still think of as an experience that made me who I am and reflected on myself the best. 5. Do you have any memorable subjects in your undergraduate class? Professor Kang Hee-joon's "Introduction to Microeconomics" class, which I took in the second semester after I entered the school, was the most memorable. I remember that the professor asked the students a lot of questions every day and sometimes took a note test, so I went into the classroom with tension in every class. (I suddenly miss the group chat room where I used to get scared and noisy whenever this class approached.) At that time, I was busy studying just because I had to answer well and do well on my exams, but as I went up in grade and got a job, I realized a lot how important the field of "economy" is to business students. Of course, the actual economic activities are not exactly consistent with the theories of economics courses taken by undergraduate students, but I think understanding the overall economy will be a good foundation for understanding various fields of business administration, so of course it is a very difficult study, but I hope you can study hard and understand the business system in a broader perspective than I am! 6. What are your future career paths and goals? Currently, I am working at the company as a financial and management accounting job. I started working in July, so it is awkward because I am still very inexperienced and have a lot of things I do not know, but I am feeling more and more familiar with the job I am in charge of. Most of the accounting courses I took when I was a student are related to financial accounting, so the field of management accounting is unfamiliar at first, but I think it is very attractive because it is a job that directly participates in the company's decision-making. I am currently in charge of management accounting, but I want to work for a variety of teams for a long time and have an even experience in various fields. My goal and dream is to become a finance expert who can make more correct decisions with balanced experience when I take on the core role of the department over time while also in charge of traditional finance duties such as accounting and tax teams. 7. Lastly, if you have anything you would like to talk about for your classmates at the business school, please. What I really want to say is, "I hope you are faithful to each day." Someone said, "Life is a long-term battle. Don't let your days go by, just keep your pace tirelessly, and look far away." But I kind of disagree. I think life is "hundreds of thousands of sprints every day." There is no single day that can go by meaninglessly, and I think what you have accomplished is the result of combining every single day, not the memories of a few special days. I don't just want you to study hard, but I just want you to live your life faithfully so that no matter what you do, a single day doesn't go by meaninglessly. When you are in the senior year preparing for a job, you may feel anxious about your motives. I hear a lot of people around me saying, "You have to do this much, you have to do at least these activities," such as my English grades, the number of interns, and the awards at the contest, but I hope you don't get nervous and swayed by these stories. I have been through these concerns and fully agree with them, but the time I spent thinking about how to live to have more special people and people curious about my life rather than being the same as others has helped me a lot. Of course, you have to prepare for the prerequisites to apply, but I hope you will live a college life that truly protects the core of your life and not be bound by the same qualifications as others in a life without correct answers. The answers were long, but thank you for reading them. I sincerely hope you all will be full of happiness in the future. Way to go, Sungkyunkwan University Business School students!

Professor Shin Young-seok _Interview on winning the 2024 SKKU Teaching Award
2024-09-10
The SKKU Teaching Award is an honorable award that honors teachers and instructors who have led the improvement of the quality of our university education. Since its first implementation in 2011, a total of 135 people have been selected until last year, and it aims to give pride and honor to teachers and instructors with excellent educational capabilities and to promote and spread motivation for providing high-quality education. We listened to Professor Shin Young-seok, the winner of the 2024 SKKU Teaching Award. 1. Hello, professor, please briefly introduce yourself. I formed a relationship with the LINK project group at Sungkyunkwan University in 2014 and started as the first industry-academic cooperation professor at the business school in 2016. Before that, I worked in the financial investment industry such as securities companies and asset management companies for about 20 years, and before that, I worked in academia as an assistant professor of finance at U. Pittsburgh and Virginia Tech. 2. Congratulations on being selected for the 2024 SKKU Teaching Award. Please share your thoughts. I am truly honored to receive this great prize when I left the financial industry in my late 50s and chose to become a professor as my second career, and I feel that I made a wise choice at that point. I am grateful to the professors of business schools who have embraced the Clinical Professionals system, especially the professors of finance, and I am also very grateful for the generous "subscribe" and "likes" of the students who have taken my classes. 3. I'm curious about the ongoing research. Or please introduce me to the field you're interested in. My areas of interest are derivatives and asset management. In particular, the main concern is the framework through which domestic investors manage their assets (in USD) long-term and systematic in overseas markets. In the past, Korea's investment in overseas securities was not very successful and began in earnest after 2008, but it is still being tested. In the past, as a capital importer, Korea has grown by making dollars from exports through manufacturing and paying off dollar liabilities, and recently, K-culture is also participating in dollar acquisition. Now, the financial industry also needs to establish a system that contributes to national wealth 增進 through asset management in overseas markets. Global asset management through ETFs, which I emphasized in the class, may be the basic means. 4. What do you think is the secret to winning the 2024 SKKU Teaching Award this time? I think it helped students understand capital markets and financial product investments. I gave a lecture to help students draw a big picture by linking economic news with the theory of textbooks. I tried to understand global market trends and key concepts through Bloomberg podcast: Masters in Business and Trillions, and to provide useful market information on the domestic financial market by using Dubel. 5. Is there a student you met at Sungkyunkwan University that you remember the most? Or is there an episode that impressed you the most during the class? There are many people, but two of them come to mind first. Student A received the highest score on the final examination of that semester and has since had many conversations with his unique affinity. After failing the second CPA exam, I was very proud to see that he persuaded him to try again and passed the exam. Student B, as the marketing team leader of an e-mail security solution company, participated in the LINK business group's team field training program and provided a lot of business students with opportunities to experience internship training and was able to carry out the company's marketing work. These days, when I visit Yeouido, I sometimes have college graduates who come up to me and greet me. Whenever I do, I feel rewarded for giving a lecture.5. Is there a student you met at Sungkyunkwan. 6. What are your research plans going forward? As mentioned above, the ultimate goal of Korean investors is to establish a framework for an investment strategy that manages assets in foreign markets (in USD) in a long-term and systematic manner, and it can be said that they study the structural design of ETFs that can be used as a means. These days, we are also examining the applications provided by AI. 7. Lastly, please say something to the members of Sungkyunkwan University's business school. There is a story that I always emphasize when I am doing Career Consulting. Surprisingly, there are a lot of students who have not even decided on the field they will enter even before graduation. Business majors will compete with science and engineering majors outside of finance, and science and engineering students are familiar with the field as much as the experienced workers who have worked for four to six years by the time they graduate. Therefore, it is important for business students to decide on the field they will enter during the second year. That way, what they need to prepare while attending school becomes clear, so that their college life can be rewarding and productive. I hope you will enjoy your college life and make your career clear and concrete.

Kim Jin-ki(73rd Class of Master’s Program, CEO of SEJI Co., Ltd.) Commemorative Plaque Ceremony Held for Classroom 33306

[Interview] Eunji Oh (Ph.D. in Business Administration): Receiving the Dean’s Award for Academic and Research Excellence
2024-08-29
1. Hello, could you please introduce yourself? Hello, my name is Eunji Oh. I entered Sungkyunkwan University as a master’s student in 2018 and began my Ph.D. program in 2020, graduating in August 2024. From my master’s to my Ph.D. studies, I have been guided by Professor Kim Young-sang, and I am conducting research in the field of Human Resources within the Management major. 2. We heard that you received the Dean’s Award for Academic Excellence at the 2024 Summer Graduation Ceremony. Could you share your thoughts on receiving this award? First of all, I feel humbled and a bit embarrassed because I don't feel like I deserve this award. I believe that all of my fellow graduates have dedicated themselves to their research and have done their best, so I consider this award as being received on behalf of everyone. I would also like to express my gratitude to the professors who selected me as the recipient of this award. 3. We heard that you graduated with excellent grades! Could you share your personal tips or strategies for achieving such great results? Attending all the seminar classes offered by the department was a huge help for me. If you only selectively attend seminars related to your specific research interests, it can narrow your perspective. Especially when the distinctions between subfields are clear, taking a broader range of seminars can enhance your overall understanding of the field from a comprehensive perspective, which is highly beneficial for research. Even subjects that may not seem immediately useful will undoubtedly prove valuable in the future. Plus, it’s a great way to naturally build closer relationships with professors! 4. Is there an activity or moment during your graduate school life that stands out the most? Within the school, I remember the brown bag seminars held by our department, and outside of school, I particularly recall attending the AOM conference supported by the BK21 program. The brown bag seminars are regular departmental meetings where our professors invite researchers and professors who are actively conducting research overseas. It’s an opportunity to hear about their ongoing research and engage in Q&A sessions. It was a valuable experience because I could learn the level at which top researchers conduct their work abroad and how they present. Additionally, since there aren’t many opportunities for students and professors to gather together unless it’s a seminar, it was a great chance to connect and check in with one another naturally. Secondly, as a BK21 supported student, I had the opportunity to receive funding to attend international conferences designated by the department. One memorable experience was attending the AOM conference in Boston during my second year of my master’s program, along with my classmates. Many professors also attended, and we even had a small “Sungkyunkwan Night,” which was a delightful way to connect outside the usual academic setting. The conference also helped me set personal goals, like aiming to write one or two papers a year in preparation for future presentations. 5. Is there a particular course from your graduate studies that stands out to you? It might sound cliché, but all the courses left a mark on me. The methodology seminars in our department were especially helpful when I was just starting with research methodologies. I didn’t take many courses outside my major, but since methodologies often require self-study, I audited methodology-related courses from other departments. I learned R through courses with Professors Kim Young-sang and Cho Seong-hee from our major, STATA from Professor Park Tae-young in the Department of Consumer Science, and Python from Professor Han Ok-young in the Department of Computer Education. 6. What are your future career plans and goals? I hope to stay in academia, so I’m working hard to prepare for that path. I am open to opportunities wherever I can contribute, whether in Korea, the U.S., Canada, Europe, or any other region. I’m ready to actively apply to places where my skills and expertise can be of value! 7. Lastly, is there any message you would like to share with your fellow students at the Business School? I believe that research is a continuous process filled with challenges. Since Sungkyunkwan University is home to professors who conduct top-tier research, I think the learning approach here is not much different from that of high-caliber research institutions in the United States. So, I encourage everyone to stay courageous and keep going, even when tough moments arise! I was able to overcome major slumps thanks to the colleagues and professors I conducted research with. Graduate school can be quite a unique and intense environment, so if you treat your closest colleagues with genuine kindness and understanding, you will be able to get through the toughest times. I’m cheering for each and every one of you!
