This week, meet Oksana Goroshchuk! Oksana is proudly from Ukraine. We're happy to represent our Ukrainian community on campus today with Oksana's story. OISS and everyone on campus is here to support the Ukrainian community - so please reach out to us if there's anything we can do
Q. Where are you from and what are you doing here?
A. “My name is Oksana (Ksenia) Goroshchuk. I'm from Ukraine, and here at Yale as a Postdoctoral Associate at the Department of Neurology.”
Q. What is your favorite thing about where you come from?
A. “My favorite thing about my country is the courage of our people, an ability to unite for a good cause and an incredible sense of humor.”
Q. Tell us about the picture you chose to represent you.
A. “I attached a picture with two of my good friends. We were 18 years old, volunteered for European days in Ukraine in May 2008. We're walking on the Kreshchatyk street, the central street of Kyiv. That was the day of my first kiss. I was young, happy, in love and surrounded by like-minded people. This street survived WW2. I really hope I'll be able to walk there again and see the same buildings.”
If you're interested in being featured here for #humansofOISS, just send us a DM!
