Q&A with Sunil

At JWU, education is not confined to the four walls of the classroom. You’re not going to spend four years with your nose buried in a book, learning theories you may never get a chance to apply — you’re going to get out there and apply them, be it through internships, group projects, leadership opportunities, competitions and more.

What Is Your Favorite Teaching Moment?

My most favorite teaching moment is one when you see the light come on in the student's eyes and you know that they have got it. That's the thrill that never dies.

What Advice Do You Have For Incoming Freshmen?

Leverage the services provided by the institution and take advantage of every opportunity there is during your four years in college to grow and develop your personal brand.
