Clark senior reflects on her college experience, offers advice for international students in 'The Things That Matter' blog post<\/p>\n

Just three weeks after completing an internship with NERA Economic Consulting in San Francisco, Trang Nguyen received a job offer from the company.\r\n\r\nWith fall semester ending and graduation in the not-too-distant future, many seniors are asking themselves an all-important question: “What’s next?”\r\n\r\nFileona Dkhar ’17 examines what the question looks like for Trang Nguyen, an international student from Vietnam, in a blog post<\/a> on The Things That Matter<\/a>, published by the International Students and Scholars Office<\/a>. Nguyen ’17, a mathematics<\/a> and economics<\/a> major who has received numerous academic awards and been involved in on-campus student organizations during her time at Clark, recently accepted a position at NERA Economic Consulting<\/a> in San Francisco, California. Her offer came just three weeks after completing a summer internship there.\r\n\r\nHere’s an excerpt from Dkhar’s question-and-answer session with Nguyen where she offers some advice for navigating the college experience:\r\n\r\n“Talk to your professors. Talk to people at the LEEP Center<\/a>. Tell them about your plans and ambitions. It takes a little bit of practice to send that introduction email and schedule an appointment, but I just LOVE it when I develop better relationship with professors. The more they know you, the more they know the right resources to help you succeed. For a Type A person like myself, conversations with them made me realize that I can always work at one thing at a time and everything will be alright.”\r\n\r\nYou can read more of Dkhar’s interview with Nguyen here<\/a>.<\/p><\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
