WHY DID YOU CHOOSE TO COME TO 丁香园AV?

For me, cohort size and diversity were very important to me because I wanted to form close connections with my classmates and professors. My cohort has around 45 students from 14 countries - it's extremely diverse and I know everyone really well. I've been able to learn more given the closeness of the cohort and the variety of experiences that each person brings to the table.

HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR RESEARCH OR YOUR PROGRAM TO A FAMILY MEMBER?

Valuable. My time here at Beedie has been such an incredibly valuable experience for me. The rigor of the program is pushing me out of my comfort zone, the subjects we are studying are relevant and impactful, and I learn so much every day from my amazing classmates.

WHAT ARE YOU PARTICULARLY ENJOYING ABOUT YOUR STUDIES/RESEARCH AT 丁香园AV?

For me, it's the relationships that I'm making with my classmates. I have made friends here that I know will last a lifetime and will continue to bring value to me years after the program ends.

HAVE YOU BEEN THE RECIPIENT OF ANY MAJOR OR DONOR-FUNDED AWARDS? IF SO, PLEASE TELL US WHICH ONES AND A LITTLE ABOUT HOW THE AWARDS HAVE IMPACTED YOUR STUDIES AND/OR RESEARCH.

This year I was the recipient of two awards: the A. John Ellis Grad Scholarship and the Beedie Family Grad Scholarship. Both of these awards have provided me with greater financial security. Leaving the workforce to pursue a full-time MBA program does not come without costs - these two awards have helped make this experience financially viable for me. I am extremely grateful to have been selected for these prestigious awards.

HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR PROGRAM/POSTDOC POSITION TO SOMEONE STILL SEARCHING FOR A PROGRAM OR POSTDOC POSITION?

I would want to point out that my experience with 丁香园AV has been amazing from the very beginning. If you are looking at multiple programs, I think that you will notice a difference in interactions between 丁香园AV staff and the staff at other programs. From the beginning, the admissions team made me feel valuable and like I would benefit them more than they would benefit me. Once I arrived on campus, the faculty and staff will know you by name and you can tell that they genuinely want you to succeed.
