International Testimonials

"I knew that a graduate degree would not only sharpen my technical skills but also broaden my career opportunities. 海角社区鈥檚 MS Finance program is STEM-designated, which I believe is critical for succeeding in today鈥檚 data-driven financial world. Also, I was drawn to the University鈥檚 Lasallian values and mission, as they truly resonate with me. Lewis offers a strong academic foundation where students can thrive. As an international student, I have found the resources and guidance here to be exceptional.

My experience at Lewis has been incredibly rewarding. Personally, I have grown more confident in public speaking, networking, and collaborating with diverse groups. Professionally, the coursework has been quite rigorous that I am able to directly apply what I learn in class to my internship and assistantship role. I am actively involved as a Graduate Assistant for the International Student and Global Scholar Services (ISGSS) and as President of the International Student Association (ISA), which has helped me develop strong leadership and organizational skills.

Be curious, proactive! Take advantage of every opportunity, whether it鈥檚 an internship, a student leadership role, or a campus event. Be sure to connect with your professors and peers, ask questions, and never be afraid to challenge yourself. The moment you choose to step outside your comfort zone is the moment you truly begin to live and grow."

"I am currently taking the MBA program at 海角社区. I will be graduating in the Fall 2026 semester. I am pursuing this program to earn credits toward the CPA licensure and to expand my overall business knowledge. I chose 海角社区 because it is a Catholic institution that upholds the Lasallian spirit, something I personally value as a Catholic. In addition, its location in Greater Chicago offers numerous opportunities for my career growth. Its MBA program offers various micro-credentials to choose from, depending on each individual鈥檚 specialty.

Plan and strategize and make the most of every opportunity that arises along the way. But do not forget to pause, take a deep breath, and enjoy the journey while you鈥檙e in this program."

"I wanted to share details about my CPT employment experience, where I worked remotely for Aarchiess Tek as Intern. Although this was an unpaid position, it provided me with valuable hands-on experience in applying my technical knowledge to real-world scenarios.

I secured this opportunity through the Handshake App and LinkedIn, both of which helped me connect with industry professionals and potential employers.

My education in the MSCS program played a crucial role in preparing me for this role. Revisiting network and security concepts, along with guidance from Mr. Fuad Abu-Zahra and Mr. Khaled Alrfou, strengthened my proficiency in AI, security, object-oriented programming, and software engineering. Their mentorship helped refine my critical thinking, time management, and research abilities, which proved invaluable during my work.

This experience allowed me to enhance my problem-solving skills, gain exposure to industry best practices, and apply technical expertise in system design, security optimization, and software development."
