Fellow:Asia Lee

In May 2015 I received a B.A. in Marketing with a minor in Art. It was one of the best feelings in the world being the first to graduate from college. But it was also one of the best feelings learning everything from Finance, Accounting, Advertising, Marketing and Management to Studio Arts, Visual Culture, and Digital Art & Design.

During my undergraduate acadmic career I was involved in the McNair Scholars program, engaging in an 8-week self-conducted research study; the Interactive Marketing Immersion program, learning conceptual and practical concepts in marketing at Denver CO (1 of the top 31 students chosen trhoughout the US); Africana Theater Lab, as an artistic director; and worked as a content manager for SIU's Web Communciations and Marketing department.

My second degree will be a Masters in Business Adminisration. Currently I am a graduate assistant with the univeristy's Social Media Team, managing various social media platforms (reaching over 10,000 followers); involved with the Saluki CEO Organiazation, managin their Facebook and Instagram pages for the upcoming event TakeSI; and a College of Business Admbassador.  

In the future, I plan on directing my studies, networks, and experience to bigger societal issues, especially to create an inclusive, safe environment for the city kids of Chicago.Change starts with us.
