Beyond and behind the number of years that we have respectively hurdled in this academic institution are stories, challenges, and experiences that have professionally and personally molded us,” she said.
“The institution taught me a lot of things. Things about professionalism, about competence, about excellence, about leadership, about friendship, about love, and about life. Moreover, this institution showed to me what battles should be fought, to take the frontline or just the backseat; talk or just to listen; to lead or just to follow; to change or just maintain the status and to oppose or just to conform,” Prof. Bolusan added in her speech.
In her interview, she said, “What made me stay in NWU? It is the love that made me stay with Northwestern University. When I needed a work, it was NWU who [opened] his arms to me, and they trusted me and believe in my capability… which I never regret.”
Prof. Bolusan also expressed her gratitude to those people who have patiently guided and trusted her through the years of serving the university.
