Transitioning from being a working professional to a full-time student can be a bit of a culture shock. It happens quickly and there is no way to prepare for it.

FROM The Booth Experience: Digital World = Data |
Close your eyes for a moment and think about everything you did this morning. You probably opened your phone, checked your email and/or social media, texted a friend, or searched for something online. Now try to imagine how many people in the world also did the same things. What each of these actions have in […] |

FROM The Booth Experience: A Series of Fortunate Events |

Luckily, through a series of fortunate events and reflection, I […] |

FROM The Booth Experience: Black History Month – Why We Celebrate |
We celebrate Black History Month because Black history is American history. Though that link isn’t always directly made because history is written by those in power, and for too long Black Americans were kept out of those positions. We are now seeing what I hope is the beginning of a movement resulting in African Americans […] |
