KALO MINA! WELCOME BACK!
October is at once a time for constructive balance and vital change. It marks the anniversary of a very historical time for the world — October 28th, Oxi Day. It also marks the anniversary of the establishment of our organization, which was founded to address the needs of our young professional community that stem from prejudice and imbalance in an era that claims liberty and justice for all.
Grab your favorite coffee and learn more about available opportunities that can help you transition to the next level in your academic or professional path. This month’s issue is packed with material and opportunities designed to educate, inspire and empower our readers. As always, we are here for you.
