Kpmg Leadership Goals
This award from the KPMG Future Leaders Program will help me achieve my goals not only by supplying me with financial assistance to pay for college but also by allowing me to interact with strong, success women who have experience and insight into a male-driven field. It is seldom that a young woman like myself has the opportunity to further their knowledge of business and communications, and gets to learn that information from strong female leaders. My goals and aspirations stretch far beyond my current skills, and I hope that an award from the KPMG Future Leaders Program will allow me to grow the skills I need to continue on to be a leader to those around me. Going into my freshman year of college with a mentor counseling and teaching me the skill sets required to succeed in my field and to prosper at NYU next year, would be an extraordinary privilege and honor.

    For my interview I choose to speak to Jaquetta Harris, executive director of the leasing department at the Rochester Housing Authority (RHA). Having been employed with RHA for less than one year, Mrs. Harris has had to overcome many obstacles accompanied with being new to the organization and also being an African American female leader.

    As an alumna of prominent educational institutions – Ladies’ College and Mount Holyoke College – I consider myself fortunate to be a part of a community of women who are invested in the personal and professional development of each other. Over the years, the resources afforded to me through these institutions have played a critical role in supporting my intellectual and personal growth. At Mount Holyoke College, conversations with fellow students enabled me to develop a cosmopolitan view of the world; be it through debates on intersectional feminism at the dinner table or collaborations to form social movements on campus, my interactions with this intellectual community of women have been influential in shaping my identity as a scholar and a citizen of the world. Moreover, the enduring relationships I have formed with alumnae, have informed my belief on the importance of female mentorship. These relationships’ have cemented my conviction of the need to build stronger connections between students and alumnae and prompted my active engagement in the Sri Lankan chapter of the Mount Holyoke Alumnae group, as well as the Ladies’ College Old Girl Association. My role as assistant coach for the Ladies’ College debate team is reflective of…

    I would like to begin by saying that I am honored to be a nominee for membership into the 2013 Senior Honor Society of York College of Pennsylvania. I take passion in my academic studies and my community involvement. The opportunity to be recognized for the impact I have made on my college and local community is truly flattering. After spending my first two years at Millersville University, I began my studies at York College in my third year of college as a junior. Living in Spring Grove, I made the decision to live at home, work a part-time job, and commute to York College. These factors are all things that could have impacted my campus-life involvement, but I was determined to not let these factors impact my college experience. I jumped head first into the York College Community and was accepted with open arms into whatever groups I wanted to become affiliated with on campus.…

    On the night I shared the news of my nomination as one of EIU’s 2016 Top Black Achievers with my family, my younger cousin, Diana, sent me a message saying, “Congratulations. I aspire to be as great as you. You literally inspire me to try hard to be successful.” To which I responded, “Aspire to be even better!” I was moved beyond expression. Diana’s words made me realize that by remaining steadfast in my quest for educational enrichment, I am also positively influencing young people who look like me and come from similar socioeconomic backgrounds. My quest for education is sending the message that not only can they reach the doors of higher education, but they can work even harder and accomplish so much more. Coming from a social climate that either indirectly or…

    I am honored for the fact that I joined the Anna Tyler Waite Leadership program from the beginning of the semester to start growing as a leader and begin my path to success. The program has four stages; each stage offers us diverse goals. The program provides opportunities for students not only to understand themselves better but also to gain experience from other leaders in the society. We had several events happened last semester, but I did not attend any of them because I was not aware of the decision that I am going to participate in this program. However, I did have the chance to see the video about the Opus Prize Leadership Ceremony held at Creighton University. The Opus Prize recognizes unsung heroes who are conquering the world’s persistent social problems. Those three nominees are all faith-based entrepreneurs who fundamentally change individuals, families, and communities. One of the nominees that stroke me most was…

As I continued researching my new discovery, I soon realized that my change in direction would also alter who my mentor was. Panicked, I spent many days stressed, wondering, “Who could possible help me understand how the lack of successful women of color role models impact young girls of color?” After contemplating for a long time, it occurred to me the best person to speak with someone who had experienced the struggles of looking for an affluent WOC (woman of color) role model as well as being one. This is why I choose Cassandra Woodson as my mentor, she is both a professional Black female role model…

    Alexander includes an intriguing analysis of her personal accounts and experiences during her academic career. She also includes more pitfalls other African American women come across when they have internal false perspectives or false self-concepts. Alexander found six themes that emerged from the participants she interviewed. She closes with suggestions, and strategies to increase the numbers of African American women chief executives in higher education. I enjoyed reading Alexander’s work but she never specified the institutions from which past and presiding African American female presidents in higher education she interviewed.…
