Keynote Address Speaker GSP Alum Marielle Dewicki
Marielle Dewicki currently works as a contract analyst at a multinational corporation based in Illinois. She received her Bachelor of Arts with High Honors in 2019 with a major in International Studies and a minor in Italian. Marielle began her Global Scholars Program experience in Fall 2017 in ALA 210 and later served as a Special Projects Lead on the Alumnx Reunion Committee from 2018 to 2019.
The leadership, communication, and global awareness skills she learned in GSP allow her to spear-head projects for her work team and to effectively identify economic, social, and political problems that have influenced decisions made by her client’s executive members. Marielle would like to congratulate the Global Scholars Program Class of 2020 and encourage graduates not to give up on their goals, as they have the skills they need to succeed in any path they choose, regardless of any obstacles in their way.
