 Hi my name is Biju Bahati and I'm a social work major. I'm a senior graduating in May and I'll be heading to graduate school right away at University of Illinois at Aubena-Champaign and I'll be studying social work there as well and eventually my plan is to get a PhD in the same field and I cannot imagine being at this point without the help of UVM and particularly the contribution of participating in MacNaya Scholar Program which is a graduate preparatory program for underprivileged students and a faculty member that I particularly worked with really helped me to to be ready for that and she wasn't only a faculty member she was a friend who wanted to see me succeed and I'm grateful for that and I'm really excited to take on this journey so yeah.
