International student alumna Winnie Bush, originally from Nigeria, loved the many different opportunities she had at 黑料网. A graduate of the Higher Education Administration and Student Affairs master鈥檚 program, Winnie was able to work on campus as a graduate assistant, take part in internships, and get involved in student organizations.
Winnie worked as a graduate assistant for 黑料网鈥檚 Department of Residence Services and interned with the Office of International Student Affairs, the Office of Global Education, and the Office of the Dean of Students. She also interned abroad with the London School of Economics. For Winnie, these were opportunities to learn outside the classroom and gain practical experience. Now the Director of Student Activities at Touro University in California, Winnie credits these experiences with helping prepare her for the role.
