What better person to
advise you than
someone who has walked
the path
that you are about to walk. Several years ago Mr. Thomas was
contemplating
many of the questions that are now circulating your mind.
As
a Mathematics teacher at a secondary school he decided that it
was time to further his studies, and better his life. He
also felt just like you, that a university in
the United States was the best option.
Today he is a well accomplished Software Engineer having earned both Bachelor Science and Master of Science degrees in Computer Science. Over the last seven years he has worked extensively on several high profile US federal government programs. As an entrepreneur he's amassed significant experience and knowledge in marketing- both on line and off line.
Those accomplishments are not listed to impress you but to impress upon what you too can achieve when you follow the path we lay out for you here at My American Degree. But those are not the areas where Mr. Thomas truly excel, and where he will be of most value to you. His value to you will be on advising you on how to get the most out of your student life on and off campus.
As a student Mr. Thomas served as President of one of the most vibrant on campus student organizations. That organization to date has assisted and facilitated over 700 international students. The knowledge and experience gained serving in this capacity, along with numerous years advising the executive board of that organization after his graduation, put Mr. Thomas in the unique position to help any international student create an absolutely rich and fulfilling student life.
Mr. Thomas firmly believes that a significant part of your US university education is what goes on outside of the classroom. If you are the kind of international student who do not just want to be book smart, but the kind of student who upon graduation want to have a large network of contacts, and sharp professional and interpersonal skills, then Mr. Thomas will show you how to best do that.
While
on campus Mr. Thomas co-founded an outdoor cultural
festival that
has grown to become the biggest foreign cultural
showcase not just on campus but throughout the city.
He has managed numerous community activities such as
fund-raisers; entertained visiting politicians and
foreign dignitaries; coordinated tutoring sessions on
campus; and provided mentoring resources for local high
schools.
Most importantly after almost a decade since obtaining his undergraduate degree with honors, he has maintained strong ties with students, executive members and alumni from his former student organization. This allows Mr. Thomas to stay current with many of the real issues facing international students, especially those issues around transitioning to the US workforce.
For those of you who are thinking of getting some professional experience in corporate America you will benefit form Mr. Thomas's several years of experience doing exactly that. Not to mention benefiting from the knowledge he acquires from his huge network of former international students who themselves are today successfully and legally working in corporate America.
In closing keep in mind that Mr. Thomas once had very similar desires and goals as you currently do. Which were to get into a US university, graduate, and move on to a better life. Contemplate what and how Mr. Thomas was able to accomplish while in college, and decide if you too want a similar or better university experience. And know that if you do, then you are in best place to get it. And that place is My American Degree.
