Sunny Side of Campus
Name: Sundeep Kasturi Purushotham (Very Long last name)
Place of Birth: Bangalore, India.
Major: Supply Chain and Operations Management
Let me start by telling what my name is all about. Sundeep is a popular Indian name, derived from the epic Mahabharatha. It is primarily used by men and women from Hindu or Sikh backgrounds. There are a number of interpretations, but in the Sikh tradition it means light of the sun (sun + light), and it perhaps means "a lighted lamp" or "enlightened" in Sanskrit. That's about my name and about myself, I am an international student at the University of Northern Iowa and I work at the international service office with Ross Schupback who is the international student advisor. I also work with Kristi Marchesani who is one of the main reasons for me to choose UNI.
I met Kristi at an education fair back home called the Linden tour, in which several universities take part. I checked out several other universities but UNI's purple and gold got my attention better than any other university at the education fair. When I came to UNI during my first semester I took classes down at Hawkeye Community College, which was a fun trip everyday and enjoyed going to classes down there. The classes are small and helped me transition to the US educational curriculum in a very smooth way. Now this is my second year at UNI and I like every bit of time I have spent here. When people ask me what you like about UNI? I always tell them it's the people and that's what you miss when you are not at UNI. The students, staff and everyone on campus are so friendly and UNI is my second home now.
