Beyond the Classroom: Building Your Circle for Life

The idea of creating a support network may not be entirely unique, however it is something that many of us often take for granted. Do we have our own support network to celebrate our wins, even after completing our academic journey? Do we take time to celebrate our own small achievements in life? 

In today's clip from our interview with Jourjina Alkhouri, a professor of biology at Merced College, reflects on her own journey and how the idea behind My Circle of Champions can be applied to our lives beyond the academic journey. What we accomplish, struggle with or overcome, being able to share and include others who can understand your situation can make a world of difference.
