Fall 2024 admits from New Delhi

欧美三级片 faculty, alumni help orient newly admitted 欧美三级片 students in India

In May, senior faculty from 欧美三级片鈥檚 Muma College of Business facilitated alumni interactions with newly admitted students to 欧美三级片 in New Delhi, Hyderabad and Mumbai. Professor Kaushik Dutta, associate dean at the Muma College of Business and the interim director of the School of Information Systems and Management was accompanied by professor Han Reichgelt, interim associate director of the School of Information Systems and Management and the Graduate Coordinator for the M.S. program in Artificial Intelligence and Business Analytics.  They were accompanied by 欧美三级片 alumni in each city.  Nidhi Parashar (M.S-BAIS, 2019) joined them in New Delhi, Aditya Raj Mankani (B.B.A.-Finance and Information Systems, 2003) joined in Hyderabad, and Ojas Rawal (Bio-medical Sciences, 2008) spoke to the new admits in Mumbai.

This was Parashar鈥檚 first experience guiding newly admitted students from India. She got involved through 欧美三级片鈥檚 Network India group, 欧美三级片s largest global network of alumni outside of the U.S. 鈥淛oining the alumni network is helping me gain new skills and connections and allows me to give back to community鈥 she said. In Hyderabad, Mankani, who is the founder and CEO of one of the top digital marketing companies in India, was also excited about his first interaction with new students heading to 欧美三级片. Rawal is an old hand at this kind of work. He has been speaking to Indian students destined for the U.S. for 15 years, with undiminished enthusiasm. All three alumni were eager to share their insights about 欧美三级片 and the Tampa Bay area with the newly admitted students.

Parashar, who describes herself as a 鈥渃reative problem solver,鈥 works as a senior digital analyst for Datavinci Analytics Agency. Her expertise in Data Visualization and Data Engineering, helps her 鈥渢ranslate complex data into easy-to-understand information.鈥  She is also actively involved with Women in Technology International, which highlights women鈥檚 contributions to the tech industry, inspires them to pursue STEM careers and actively works with corporate partners to create a culture of equality. She gave some useful insights to a young couple admitted to 欧美三级片鈥檚 B.A. in Information Science as they were understandably nervous about moving from New Delhi to Tampa. Parashar lived in Tampa for seven years with her husband and children, and not only gave the couple tips about life in the city but also about the academic path. 

Parashar supported professor Dutta鈥檚 suggestion that high-aiming students should challenge themselves and learn something new by opting for difficult courses rather than easy ones. She shared her experience about choosing statistics with a challenging professor. She also stressed the role of studying abroad plays in enhancing a student鈥檚 personal growth and independence. 鈥淵oung people learn to navigate unfamiliar situations, overcome challenges, and develop resilience in the face of adversity. Living away from home fosters self-reliance and self-discovery, as they learn to adapt to new environments and embrace diverse perspectives.鈥

One piece of advice Parashar would give prospective Bulls 鈥 and anyone for that matter鈥 is to go beyond one鈥檚 comfort zone. She recently took that path herself by joining a Kathak dance class.  鈥淓xploring and learning the classical dance was always a dream,鈥 she says. 鈥淚t not only provides an outlet for creative expression but is also a great example of the teacher-disciple tradition.鈥 

Although he graduated from 欧美三级片 two decades ago, Mankani still has 鈥渇ond memories鈥 of his days at the College of Business. It was pre-Muma and the campus that looked quite different from what it does today. 鈥淲e were in what was called the bunker building back then!鈥 He addressed the students from Hyderabad and, told them how his years at 欧美三级片 鈥渉elped me grow鈥 and urged them to 鈥済et involved鈥 beyond the classroom. 鈥淚t was truly wonderful to be present at the student induction program,鈥 he says. 鈥淚t brought back a world of memories from the time I was being inducted and did not know the ropes. I am sure today鈥檚 incoming students gain a lot of experience through such sessions, which help them settle in and excel faster.鈥 

Mankani鈥檚 own professional journey is inspirational for students.  After graduating from 欧美三级片, he worked for Merryll Lynch in Florida. Upon returning to India, he joined Dell Computers before taking over his family-owned distillery where he 鈥渋ncorporated all his six sigma knowledge, [BH1] cost-effective buying and use of technology to help the business grow to the next level.鈥 He then followed his dream and started his own company, Social DNA, a results-driven integrated digital marketing company, ranked among the top 10 Digital Marketing companies in India by The Hindu, Chennai鈥檚 leading newspaper. Through it all, he finds time for other interests too. He has won many gold medals as a santoor player, he is an avid skier and has jumped through rings of fire.

Rawal鈥檚 message is consistent: going to 欧美三级片 is a tremendous life-changing opportunity and students need to take full advantage of it, not just in the classroom but in the many corners of the campus where you can play, learn, and make friends.

Rawal arrived at the orientation session in Mumbai after wrapping up a shoot for his new television series. He recently returned from the U.S. where he spent two months traveling to more than 40 American cities promoting a new play in the Gujarati language. Rawal鈥檚 message is consistent: going to 欧美三级片 is a tremendous life-changing opportunity and students need to take full advantage of it, not just in the classroom but in the many corners of the campus where you can play, learn, and make friends. 

Rawal asked each student what inspired them to join 欧美三级片 and each reply resonated with his own reasons for choosing 欧美三级片 (location, reasonable tuition, top value and course selection). As the orientation program wrapped up, he reminded everyone that for the eighteenth time, he will be leading the speakers' panel at the U.S. Consulate鈥檚 annual Pre-Departure Orientation in the coming weeks and hopes to see the 欧美三级片 bound students there. 

Rawal tells 欧美三级片 World that he sees himself in all the prospective students. "I feel a very special joy, a nostalgia of sorts, when these students reach 欧美三级片 and write to me over social media to share how these interactive sessions helped them. During the application process, I faced numerous struggles and anxiety during that fragile phase of transitioning from Mumbai to Tampa. Thereafter, I vowed that I'd help as many students as possible and try to make their journey as seamless as possible." More about Rawal in 欧美三级片 Magazine.

As the 欧美三级片 faculty set off for the airport to return home, Professor Dutta said, 鈥渢he alumni at our sessions brought the students an authentic experience of the 欧美三级片 campus.  Their stories on how they utilized the opportunities across the campus for their growth was very motivating.鈥 He continued 鈥渢he students asked them a lot of questions about 欧美三级片鈥檚 value, and I loved the sincerity and honesty in their answers. I was impressed how seriously the alumni took their role as guides and mentors for tomorrow鈥檚 Bulls.鈥
