Eesha Kashif, MBA \u201921<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

She was the first child in her Pakistani family to study abroad, earning her undergraduate and graduate degrees at Clark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next, her sister followed, completing bachelor\u2019s and master\u2019s programs in five years. Now, Clark is at the top of the list for a third Kashif sibling as a younger brother considers his college journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI saved money and earned my graduate degree in one year,\u201d Kashif says. She recalls that Clark grew on her very quickly, and she welcomed the hands-on instruction she received while earning her Master of Business Administration<\/a> (MBA).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cFor me, Clark was the opportunity of a lifetime.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI was studying, I was working, I had a routine, I had friends, I had community all around me,\u201d she says. \u201cThe whole place felt like my home. And Clark has a very diverse student population. There are a lot of people who look like me and my siblings.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Kashif, inclusivity has become a hallmark of Clark\u2019s annual Career Fair, as well. \u201cIn recent years, we\u2019ve seen a rise in the number of employers that are sponsorship- and visa-friendly, and willing to hire international students,\u201d she says. \u201cI have my current job as an account executive at Resourcesoft because of the Career Fair. That\u2019s where I met them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kashif says there\u2019s a place for everybody at Clark, as she and her sister discovered first-hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIf you\u2019re a nerd who just wants to do math competitions, there\u2019s a place for you. If social justice or climate change are causes you care about, there are endless opportunities for you. Whatever it is that you enjoy and love, you will find a group of people or a club or a professor at Clark who will help you channel your passion, and I think that is wonderful.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
