Since the semester is coming to a close, let’s give a shout-out to our wonderful graduate assistant !! VJ is graduating this May and is getting her Master’s in Data Science. Apart from being a Graduate Advisor to DAPi, she is a Graduate Assistant with the Accessibility and Disability Service office. One of her fondest memories in this role would be the day she got her position with DAPi! She made new friends, sharpened her leadership & professional skills, and achieved much more than just academics! “It was so fun brainstorming events that will definitely be exciting for the new members!” Post graduation, she is aiming to work full time for a social good organization. Thank you for all of your hard work and dedication VJ! Congrats on graduating, we are so proud of everything you have done for us💙💛
