Getting to understand one another





Hello Scholars, 

First off, the Fantastic Four would like to welcome everyone to Interdisciplinary Studies Corner Stone! Please give yourself a round of applause because you are one step closer to graduating and achieving your goals. More importantly, praise yourself once more because (*drum roll*) you’re blessed with the greatest mentors of all time. 

All joke aside, welcome everyone. It is our distinct pleasure to have you all as our mentees. Over the next several weeks we will be discussing a wide array of topics ranging from networking to performance art. 

Without further due, My name is Marley Jay and I am going to be one of your four mentors that are going to walk this five week journey with you. To give you more insight into my brain, I was born and raised in Kerala, India in 1990. I love the arts, I am an Aquarius, and I believe that everything in life is an experience. I am 21 years old and extremely close to ending my chapter at one of the finest schools in Florida. I’m graduating with a track in commerce and communication and with minors in mass communication, marketing and leadership studies. 

*The other three mentors, Caitlin, Michael, and Valentin will be joining us throughout the blog this week. To get a brief description about them, click on their names located on the right of this page. *

Let’s turn it over to the floor and hear from all of you… 
Introduce yourself to the group, including your name, areas of study and minor, what year this is for you at UCF. Do you have goals after graduation? How do you explain IDS to others, and what do you think the advantages and disadvantages are to an interdisciplinary education?

We look forward to your responses!
