“My last two degrees are the ones which meant the most to me because they were motivated not by a means to escape my circumstances, but a refusal to allow my need to escape to keep me from pursuing my passions in the name of survival.”

Last Friday, Peer Leaders and a group of their peers from the Academy of Health Sciences had the pleasure of visiting the Deloitte Arlington office for a personal development session!

This session focused on personal branding; helping students better understand how to advocate for themselves, position their strengths, and build confidence in how they present themselves. Following the initial presentation, panelists spoke to the students about their education and career paths. Thank you, Deloitte, for hosting this session for our Peer Leaders and their fellow classmates!
