Hey guys!! My name is Sosa Evbuomwan and I am a senior at UNC. I love to travel and was hoping when I got to college I would be given the opportunity. Since being in college I have been able to travel to Palestine and Israel to learn more about the conflict for 10 days free of charge!! This was given to me through my involvement as a student leader in Student Government during my time as Speaker Pro Tempore. Additionally, with this position I have been flown out on multiple occasions to DC for leadership conferences and advocating for educational reform for students. To add a little fun to my involvements I’m also involved with Carolina Football and get a pretty amazing view on game days! Have questions about involvements, leadership, etc? Feel free to message me ✨ ✨

Fun fact: One of our team members had the opportunity to study abroad in Viña Del Mar, Chile right before the COVID outbreak! While abroad, she got to travel to the Atacama Desert. Tell us where you would you like to study abroad in college and why?

Hello everyone! We are so excited because this week we will be posting two videos.

Tonight’s video will focus on building your resume. 📄 This is super important, especially because with the Common App, they do ask you to list any activities that you have been involved with. Creating a resume is a helpful and organized way to keep track of any organizations, extra-curriculars, and awards you will have received over the course of your high school career.📚

The second video on Wednesday will focus on how to stand out with college applications, interviews, scholarships, and everything in between.🤩🤩

We hope you all will be able to tune in before this holiday weekend!
