Last week, the Kessler Scholars Program Director at JHU had the honor of presenting at the Conference alongside our National Directors and four incredible Kessler Scholars: Zayra, Krisna, Bryan, and Jalyne. As they shared their experiences, both inside and beyond the program, the room was reminded of the power of human connection.
Their stories highlighted something deeper than resources, leadership opportunities, or research pathways: the impact of finding “your people,” whether within the program or across the university community.
As we head into Thanksgiving, the Kessler team is feeling especially grateful for the students who bring this community to life. If you haven’t joined one of our events yet or connected with our staff one-on-one, consider this your sign! You can use the links in our bio to register for our final events of the semester or schedule a meeting with our program director.
This season, we celebrate our scholars, their courage, their curiosity, and the conversations that spark so many new possibilities. The Kessler Scholars Program is proud of every one of you, and deeply thankful to be part of such an inspiring community.
Happy Thanksgiving break, Kessler Scholars!
