Click here INTRODUCING KAREN DOESCHERDear Friends, I am writing to thank you for your generous support, which has allowed us to raise $600,000 to launch our Economics Industry Engagement Program. This would not have been possible without your visionary advice and financial backing. We are guided by the same belief you have – that a public university of UC San Diego’s caliber should provide top quality professional development and employment prospects. Beyond helping all our students, this is especially important for our goal of promoting social mobility for many of the first-generation college students who attend UC San Diego. I am pleased to introduce Karen Doescher as our first-ever Economics Industry Engagement Program Director. Karen has significant experience in building relationships between talent pipelines and industry. She is a UC San Diego alumna and has extensive experience in career placement, and will be able to hit the ground running. With gratitude, It is a pleasure to start this exciting program with you. I come to the Economics Industry Engagement Program with experience cultivating employer relationships and leveraging alumni connections to support the career and professional development of UC San Diego students. I have provided hundreds of students with individualized support and inspiration for their professional journeys. A proud Triton, I attended the School of Global Policy & Strategy and obtained a Master of Advanced Studies in International Affairs. I also have a background in international programs, specifically in Asia. I expect to draw on this as I build local, national, and global markets for our students. I look forward to working with you to provide professional development resources, cultivate industry relationships, and develop employment opportunities for current students working towards meaningful career and life goals. I invite you to connect with me - my email is kadoescher@ucsd.edu and I am on LinkedIn and TritonsConnect. Warm regards, |
