Student Spotlight - Sumesh Muvvala
|
|
Hello Raiders,
My name is Sumesh Muvvala. Iโm getting my Masters in Marketing Analytics at the Raj Soin College of Business. I'm from a lovely city named Guntur which is in Southern India. We only have two seasons in my city, hot and hotter. Now that I'm in Ohio where there seem to be only two seasons i.e. summer and winter. I hope I don't freeze during this upcoming winter.
Wright State has been very welcoming. Before joining this university, I reached out to my professors to know more about the course and the delivery methods. I received swift and detailed responses from all of them.
I work at the Campus Rec Center and help people climb the wall. So the next time you come by, you might find me there. This university has a diverse culture, and I think I have found the right college for me. The ReyRey Cafe in the Raj Soin College of Business is one of the places that I visit regularly because I love the coffee there. As an international student, I experienced several new things here. I had the opportunity to meet and have conversations with the other international students through Convo Clubs that happen every Monday at UCIE.
