Hello humans who follow OISS, and welcome back to a new season of #HUMANSOFOISS. You may have seen our gallery wall pictures last week: those are photos of some of the wonderful people who make up our international community here at Yale. Over the course of this semester, most Fridays, you will be able to find a new story featuring a new international student or scholar here on @yaleoiss.Maybe you know them, maybe you don't, but once you've read their #story, I'm sure you will want to get to know them!
This week, meet PAT DELLAGIOVANNA, affiliate fellow at the Macmillan Center in the Agrarian Studies program, and Visiting Assistant in Research for the Council on Latin American and Iberian Studies. Pat is from Argentina, and was originally only going to be here to accompany his wife on her Fox International Fellowship (I also hope to interview her this semester!) But Pat knocked on a few doors (or, more accurately, email inboxes!) and found himself in America, working on his research at Yale, advocating for graduate students and spouses as a GPSS Senator, and getting excited over his little boy's first steps! His modus operandi is admirable: “if you already got the “no,” why not go for the “yes”?” Thanks Pat!
