GDL Brochure 2022 (5.5 x 8.5 in) (3) - Flipbook - Page 12
JOHN
AKEDOLA '24
My
introduction
to
the
GDL
was
through taking my Chinese Class. Our
final exam was administered by the
GDL. I have always been interested in
learning
about
new
cultures
and
languages so the GDL already seemed
like a great place for me. What sold it
to
me
though
was
having
a
measurable impact on W&L as a whole.
I
assist
students
in
taking
tests,
professors with technical issues and
sometimes
just
random
tourists
in
need of direction. I am originally from
Abuja, Nigeria. In my spare time, I love
to travel and read books. I also enjoy
watching and playing soccer, along
with video games and cooking. On
campus I serve as an analyst for the
Diversified Capital group and also a
Consultant for the W&L Consulting
Group. So far, this job has had a steep
learning curve but what I am thankful
for is the support I have had from Dr.
Kuettner, and fellow colleagues who
are always eager to help me when I
struggle.
