Here’s the write-up:

Hi! I’m Devanshi and I graduated from TISB in 2017. I’m currently a junior at UCLA, and I’m majoring in Biochemistry, with a minor in Art history, and am on track to enter the pharmaceutical industry after graduation. 

In addition to Chinmaya’s video on the campus culture at UCLA, I thought I could share an insight into how there are numerous opportunities for all kinds of self-growth and self-development available!

The first thing that I really loved about UCLA is its culture of serving and caring for the greater community: there are numerous clubs and opportunities on campus to help serve the population around you in anyway you would like be it from a healthcare perspective, creative aspect, or tutoring. I think that this was really amazing for me and in general, in line with TISB culture of believing in the importance of community service.

There are also plenty of resources available for personal growth, which could range from anything such as advancing your career by networking and making connections or even learning a new skill. The career center actually hosts a lot of networking events which are catered toward a specific industry which makes it a lot easier to talk with people as opposed to a more job fair like environment. Moreover, from my experience, most people who live and work around LA are extremely well-rounded and have a range of interests so it’s always amazing to try and learn new things; it gives you the chance to explore and also can act as a great talking point for when you network with people!

Being a big school, it can get a little difficult to know about a lot of the resources available but I think the culture at UCLA is generally helpful and help will always be given to you if you ask for it.

If you have anymore questions, I’d be happy to answer them for you!!
