“Being an FA was one of the most rewarding experiences I have had in my college career. It is hard to describe how significant an impact the FIG program made on me. It is evident in the connections I made with my FIG students and my fellow FAs. This job taught me a lot and made me grow as a person, and I’m so grateful for that.” -- FA for Carnegie Global Oregon
