Tiana Jurisic, a BSU alumna of the Political Science department, will be speaking to students about her post-BSU academic and career experiences, focusing on public sector careers, international pathways, and graduate school.
See below for the speaker's bio:
A native of Boston, Tiana Jurisic has more than five years of experience conducting Community Health Needs Assessments across diverse refugee and immigrant communities in an urban setting. While an undergraduate student at Bridgewater State University, she received an Erasmus Grant in 2018 and spent a year studying abroad at Manchester Metropolitan University in Manchester, England, where she fell in love with public health. She completed her MPH Practicum with an NGO in Molepolole, Botswana through the University of Massachusetts at Lowell.
Tiana interned at the United Nations Human Rights Council in Geneva, Switzerland, where she became fascinated with the role that NGOs play and thus wanted to combine her interdisciplinary educational background with the intersection of politics and health policy. As a PhD student at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, she taught Global Health, which is her passion. Tiana hopes to focus her dissertation on the role NGOs play in protecting humanitarian corridors.
We hope to see some of your students at this event
