We’re launching a new video series called #WhyWeissman on Weissman’s YouTube channel. The videos are short testimonials from alumni explaining how Weissman made a difference in their lives and career paths.

Zoey Zhou cites a history course taught by Professor Charlotte Brooks as inspiring her to change direction and follow her heart. Zhou is now getting a PhD in East Asian Studies at the University of Toronto. Watch her one-minute video here or below.

Katherine Chemas, a student at Cornell’s veterinary school, credits her success in science to Weissman’s small classes and caring professors (including Professor Pablo Peixoto). Watch her video below or here.

Yelena Dzhanova was editor-in-chief of The Ticker at Baruch and had numerous internships with major media organizations while she was a student. Today she’s making an impact as a journalist at Insider.com. Follow her on Twitter and watch her video below or here.

Aygul Islamova is both a healthcare practitioner and an entrepreneur. She offers advice to students and describes her work as both a nurse and a fashion entrepreneur. Watch it below or here.

We’re always looking for more alumni to feature! If you or someone you know would be a good candidate for a #WhyWeissman testimonial, email [email protected] with contact info.
