"Why BFSA?" Member Spotlight

Tariq Draine is our March 2020 "Why BFSA" Member Spotlight. Tariq is a Career Consultant and the Career Closet Manager in the Career Center in the Division of Student Life.

"My life's journey started in Bronx, NY, made a turn toward Stone Mountain, GA and has resulted in me working Full-Time at my Alma Mater and finishing a Masters in Higher Education Administration in May of 2020. Being a first generation college student, getting settled in and acquainted with the proper resources here at The University was more rigorous than I would’ve imagined. After stepping outside of my comfort zones, I came across a few notable members of BFSA who played major roles in my personal and professional development. Since meeting them, I strive everyday to make sure I pour into the success of our student population in that same manner. That’s why serving as a member of BFSA has been an important feat of mine."​
