Abiiiii!!!!!! Couldn't have guessed that you were pushing yourself outside your comfort zone 😉 you looked sooooo at ease as the group leader.
I can't wait to hear more about your sixth sense! Thank you for sharing about your week 1. It was an absolute pleasure meeting you in person, Maria.
Erin, you're such a breath of fresh air and I'm glad you had an inspiring induction week. Can't wait to see you lead this week. All the best! Be a sponge 🙌
Lovely 😍 thank you for sharing, Alba. It was so nice to finally meet you in the flesh as well. Can't wait to follow your journey and read your insights, what you learn in the next 5 weeks.
So beautifully written, Paris. I'm glad that within 5 days here you're already rethinking what it means to be a leader. Can't wait to read more about this whole thing from your POV!
Fascinating research, Sophia! I love how you’re unpacking the layers of identity and showing how “being Italian” has meant so many different things across time and place. Excited to see your survey results!
This is such important work, Terrah. Thank you for centering student voices in such a meaningful way. I run a social enterprise called Swara in India, where we work to empower women by creating dignified income opportunities through fashion and storytelling. We see firsthand how financial literacy can transform lives, especially in under-resourced communities. Rooting policy in real stories makes all the difference. Cheering you on!
I’ve sent you a request on LinkedIn - your profile is great! Love the entrepreneurial energy 😄 Looking forward to following your journey here and on LinkedIn. Let me know if there’s any way I can contribute to your work.
