STANDING IN SOLIDARITY
|
|
We, as a department committed to advancing students' education and livelihood, echo the words already shared by Father Shanley. We understand that career planning and today's workforce are two of many arenas where discrimination and injustice often show up.
We stand in solidarity with our black students, faculty, staff, and all students of color with a commitment to advocating for change in these fields and within the greater systems of racism and social injustice in place. We hear you, we see you, and we stand with you.

ADVICE FROM THE CAREER COACH: MEGAN STRAUMANN
|
|
"A reminder to students: The path to success is rarely ever a straight line.
The path to success always involves twists and turns, especially right now when things are anything but ordinary. With the abrupt change in plans, we have a unique opportunity to let go of our expectations, redefine what we think our path should look like and adjust it to what we want it to look like going forward. The best way to work through these uncertainties is to take advantage of this temporary fork in the road - fill the time with activities that are outside of the box, join webinars that interest you, volunteer in your community, expand your professional network virtually - all ways to show future employers that you've used this time to grow. Our P.I.V.O.T program can help you do that!
Your path to success might have a few more loops than you anticipated, but as long as you keep moving, trust in your strengths, and use your resources, you're on the right track to reaching those goals."

FRIARS ON THE FRONT LINE: MARK BRADY '02
Mark Brady '02
Biology Major
Assistant Professor in the Dept of Emergency Medicine
University of Tennessee Health Science Center
|
What do you do?
I'm currently Assistant Professor in the Department of Emergency Medicine, University of Tennessee Health Science Center in Memphis, TN. I have been selected for a promotion to Associate Professor. However, I accepted a position to come back to RI as Assistant Professor in the Department of Emergency Medicine at Brown University where I start in October. I'm also a Lieutenant Commander in the US Navy Reserves, and will be promoted to Commander in July. My unit is 4th Medical Battalion, Surgical Company B. I was activated to deploy to NYC and have been working at Elmhurst Hospital Emergency Department in Queens for the past week as part of the military response to COVID-19. If you want the alphabet soup of degrees it is MD, MPH, MMSc, DTM&H, FACEP.
How has your work changed during COVID-19?
As emergency medicine doctors, we are in the hospital 24/7/365 for "anyone, anything, anytime."
The Navy Reserve activated me for the COVID-19 response to go to Elmhurst Hospital in Queens. I've been here for the past month working with the awesome staff and taking care of a lot of sick patients with COVID-19.
What advice would you give to a current Friar who might want to get into your field?
Come do some shadowing in the ER or get a job as a medical scribe. You have to jump through the hoops to get into medical school, but that's the first step.

FEATURED IN FRIARLINK: MALIK OSUMAH '17
Malik Osumah '17
Marketing Major
Onboarding Success Manager
monday.com
|
What do you do in your job?
I work closely with monday.com clients through the length of their partnership to make sure they're getting the most out of the platform while expanding our services to other functions of their business. No two clients have the same problems that need to be solved so every day is different.
Why did you join FriarLink?
I joined FriarLink because throughout my undergraduate career at Providence College I heavily relied on the support of the alumni network for help in securing summer internships and general career advice. As soon as I became an Alumni I knew I wanted to give back in the same way!
What piece of advice do you have for students?
My advice to students is, it's just as important to have an understanding of what you don't enjoy as it is finding out what you do. That being said, don't be afraid to make a change whether it be while you're still in college or early in your career!
