Fisher College is a close-knit community. At Fisher, it is not hard to know everyone around. The small class sizes at Fisher also provide an atmosphere in which you can easily ask questions and talk to your instructors and classmates, not only to help you achieve academic success easily but also build relationships.
What did you do after graduation?
I am continuing my study at the MPH in epidemiology program at Yale University.
How did Fisher prepare you?
During my time at Fisher, I helped with the epidemiological study of Prof. Devan Hawkins, which was a great opportunity for me to get to know this field better and equip me with some fundamental skills. Moreover, Fisher focuses on developing students’ communication skills and professionalism, and this is also of great benefit to my further study in the future.
What advice would you give a student who wants to study at Fisher?
Try to get involved more on the campus. Fisher has a lot of fantastic opportunities to show your talents: Student Government Association, various clubs and organizations, student-leader positions, multiple on-campus jobs, etc. They are great ways to. Just push yourselves out there, and you will make your time outside of the classroom joyful and fruitful.
