My Professional Origin Story: Jacimaria Batista Nov. 6.

Join the UNLV’s Graduate College on Wednesday, Nov. 6,  3:00 p.m. - 6 p.m. to hear the inspiring professional journey of Jacimaria Batista. From working at a grocery store to earning a Ph.D., Batista’s professional origin story is one that shows determination and grit. 

The My Professional Origin Story series highlights the professional journeys of UNLV faculty and administrators. Origin stories matter. Understanding how people came to be where they are can give us insight into where we might be headed or how our own journeys unfold.

The event, which is open to the entire UNLV community, will take place in the Marjorie Barrick Museum of Art Auditorium and will be livestreamed on YouTube.
