I Dream of Graduating and Teaching at AC, Do You Have Any Advice? - Chat With Cheryl

Hi Asmaa, thanks for your question.

and also for your kind comments!

and congratulations on starting in your program here at AC.

And I know you have aspirations not just to study here and graduate, but

maybe some day join us as a professor,

and that's a very very ambitious, and very noble goal.

You know, faculty positions are so rewarding.

I was a faculty member in the college system for 16 years

Very very rewarding, you get to change students' lives.

also very demanding. So! Here's my advice if you want to do that.

First of all study hard.

Do as well as you can in your program, talk to your professors,

and talk to them about the life of a professor, and the demands of the job.

but also the rewards.

and when you graduate, get lots of experience. Network with different people.

Get to know the business of business, if you know what Imean.

And really decide if teaching is for you.

Maybe teach a course in continuing education, and part-time studies to see what teaching is really like.

and then bring that experience that you get from the business world and from your part-time teaching

to the college, or to any college actually in Ontario, Canada, and the world.

and I wish you every success, you'll have the world by the tail.

Thanks!
