Why I Want To Pursue A Degree At Caldwell University

774 Words4 Pages

My motives for seeking to become a professor are diverse, but two of the most significant ones are my satisfaction with teaching and my interest in financial research. As an undergraduate student at Caldwell University, I worked as an Academic Tutor for courses in economics, finance, and statistics for three semesters. During this time, I learned to adapt my teaching methods to the needs of a particular student, while solidifying my own knowledge of different theories and methods. In the Spring of 2015, I was appointed as a Teaching Assistant for Economics by Dr. Kandel. In this position, I assisted with instruction materials and exams and led my own course lecture.

As an international student from Nepal, I have continuously represented my country through various extra-curricular activities. As Vice President of the International Student Organization at Caldwell, I helped raise multi-cultural awareness on campus through numerous cultural events. Under my leadership, Holi: Festival of Colors won the Event of the Year award. In 2015, I was a key organizer of Caldwell University Prays for Nepal campaign that raised more than $18,000 in donations to help the victims of a disastrous earthquake in Nepal. Through these experiences, I have become increasingly aware of my ability to make a positive difference in my community, and have resolved to continue on this path of service. The fellowship will provide me a platform to further represent my country, perform community development activities, and contribute to the diversity of the graduate experience. Furthermore, the program’s unparalleled opportunities for interdisciplinary collaborations strongly appeals to me given my research interests that lie at the intersection of finance with other disciplines such as psychology and computer science. Ultimately, I believe the CGF program will provide me the network, security, and support necessary to thrive during my doctoral studies and achieve my goal of becoming a professor at a top business

Other times I enjoy taking on larger tasks, like operating the concession stand at the varsity boys’ and girls’ basketball home games, assembling consignment sale displays for my French teacher’s organization, or sitting with a struggling French student during their class to guide them through their work. Community service has taught me many skills including how to handle money, bake pumpkin pies from scratch, and how to keep stats for volleyball and basketball.
