Summer Institutes and Professional Developments Thursday, Jul 7 2016 

Education and Research and Service and Teaching alkazemi 4:33 pm

Since graduating from my doctoral program in December 2014, I have had the privilege of participating in several courses.

In April 2015, I completed the requirements for a course Empowering Women in Technology Start-Ups (ewits). The course, which was organized by University of Florida Office of Technology Licensing, UF Tech Connect and the Florida Innovation Hub, allowed us to work together in groups to simulate the process of commercializing a new technology patented by the university.

By July 2015, I earned a certificate of completion for participating in the 2015 Summer Institute for Educators by the University of California Berkeley’s Greater Good Science Center. The program grouped educators according to the level of students taught to find ways to incorporate social and emotional learning to one’s curriculum.

In June and July 2016, I participated in the Annenberg-Oxford Media Policy Summer Institute. Here, I got to learn about issues and methods of studying media policy globally. The two-week seminar took place at the University of Oxford. This turned out to be a convenient location since it was a short train ride away from the London School of Economics and Political Science’s Middle East Center, where I am a visiting fellow until August 2016.

GSMCA’s vice president of international affairs (2011-2012)

During my first year as a doctoral student, I served as the vice president of international relations for GSMCA. As one of the five members, I strive to contribute by making an effort to welcome international students at the College of Journalism and Communication. My responsibilities include bringing the graduate student perspective to meetings of the International Communication Committee, where I am privileged to watch and take notes as the college’s outstanding professors set out tasks to turn their vision of our college into a reality.
One event in which I was an active participant was the college’s holiday party in December 2011. In addition to inviting students and faculty to enjoy light snacks, the GSMCA decided to participate in a toy drive. Included in this page are pictures that demonstrate the success of our efforts.holiday party
