Meet Justine, recently graduated SJSU undergrad, current grad student, and one of the leaders of Lurie College!

“As the daughter of an immigrant woman, the youngest of six children, and the first to attend college, I feel immense gratitude to receive the privilege that is education. Although the road to get here has been far from easy, what I’ve found is that persistence and hard work always wins. By adopting a growth mindset, I began to grow academically, professionally, and personally in ways I never imagined. So no matter where you are in your journey, know that determination will get you far.”

The Leaders of Lurie College series has been curated by Brian Cheung Dooley.
