The Center for Global Engagement is very glad to welcome Molly Mirabeli as the CGE- Assistant. Molly oversees the student staff alongside very crucial responsibilities in our office. Therefore, on Wednesday October 12th, she invited all the student staff to a welcome dinner where she wanted to bond with us and to get to know more about us. Molly had a solid plan to go through multiple important aspects of our work requirements. She talked about work ethics, responsibilities, and other tasks.There was actually no ice to break between the student staff and Molly. Rafia, Sophie, Alyssa, Emma and I connected with Molly on different levels.
Molly recently graduated from Saint Mary’s College, where she gained an interest in the impact of political instability and conflict on women’s social and political rights. While she has worked in a variety of research and administrative positions, Molly is passionate about international higher education and fostering connections with like-minded global citizens. When she isn’t working, Molly enjoys scuba diving, travel, and cooking. She also discussed her love of reading books, and mentioned some of her role models, including Dr. Nemam Ghafouri and bell hooks.
Molly had tasteful treats for us to munch on during our long conversations. She had home-made cookies, Italian pizza, garlic bread, and Fettuccine Al Fredo. We had to make sure we took pictures in the most unique way, so we took multiple polaroids and hung them in her office.
Our meeting was effortlessly friendly and easy-going as she also got to know more about our majors, music taste, where we come from and other interests. Communication was a very easy task as we shared the same opinions and started planning for future CGE projects.
