Scholar Spotlight: Michael Brown Huge congratulations to Michael! Not only did he graduate this year with a Degree in Mathematics and a minor in History, but he also served as our Keynote Speaker at the Maisin Award Ceremony. We loved hearing Michael share his experiences with our new scholars. We've asked Michael to share a few words with the community about his future plans and your message to the first-yearMaisin scholars. "In the next five years, I envision myself completing or having completed a Master's degree in Finance, Economics, or Accounting. My aspiration is to live and work overseas, leveraging my educational and professional experiences to make a meaningful impact. I also aim to be proficiently bilingual, enhancing my ability to connect and contribute in a diverse global environment. To those embarking on their college journey, remember that higher education is more than just academics. It's a partnership involving students, alumni, faculty, administrators, donors, and the surrounding community, all working together to create a vibrant culture. Engage fully in this community and don't miss out on the opportunity to be part of something larger than yourself. College is also a place for exploring new ideas, challenging your perspectives, and discovering what you truly believe. Embrace change, whether it's in your major, your relationships, or your worldview. Adaptability will be your greatest ally as you navigate this transformative period." #collegegrad #SFSU #success #scholarhighlight #congrats
