Introducing… Fabricio Pontin and Tatiana Vargas Maia
Apresentando… Fabricio Pontin e Tatiana Vargas Maia
KNOW NO
BOUNDS
Fabricio and Tatiana came to study at SIU, where they both completed
their PhDs. They were looking to expand their research opportunities,
and they won Fulbright scholarships to attend SIU.
Studying at SIU was a very positive experience for this husband and
wife team, particularly because of the opportunities. Fabricio was
able to work in a research center and to learn about institutional
exchanges, grant writing and just the insides of the academic machine.
“Working in the Phenomenology Research Center was not part of
my plan when I got to SIUC, but being able to participate in it was
absolutely fantastic.”
Regarding faculty members, they felt they were really lucky to have more
than just a professional relationship with their advisors. They decided
that one professor in particular modeled the kind of professional they
want to become in the future. They were also glad they got to interact in
friendly, and not just professional, terms.
Fabricio e Tatiana estavam a procura de oportunidades para expandir
suas pesquisas. Ganharam bolsas de estudo pela Fulbright e assim
completaram seus doutorados aqui na SIU.
Estudar na SIU foi uma experiência muito positiva para este casal,
especialmente por causa das oportunidades geradas. Fabrício trabalhou
em um centro de pesquisas onde ele aprendeu sobre intercâmbios
institucionais, o desenvolvimento de propostas de subsídio para pesquisas,
e outros aspectos inerentes a uma instituição acadêmica. “Quando
cheguei na SIU não era parte do meu plano trabalhar com o Centro de
Pesquisas em Fenomenologia, mas poder estar lá foi uma oportunidade
fantástica.”
Com relação ao corpo docente, Fabrício e Tatiana disseram que foi muito
bom ter mais do que um relacionamento profissional com seus orientadores:
um convívio mais íntimo e amigável. Além disso, eles descobriram que um
de seus professores é o tipo de profissional que eles querem ser no futuro.
Both Tatiana and Fabricio feel the services that international students
receive at SIU are extensive. Everything from immigration counseling
to academic support and community connections are provided. They
stressed how wonderful the staff and volunteers at the Center for
International Education are. They note that they are, “without a doubt
some of the most amazing and kind people we have ever met.”
Fabrício e Tatiana sentem que os serviços prestados aos alunos internacionais
que vem a SIU são abrangentes, incluindo suporte para dúvidas relacionadas
com imigração, apoio acadêmico e ajuda na construção de vínculos com a
comunidade. Ele enfatizaram que “sem sombra de dúvida, algumas das
pessoas mais fantásticas e prestativas que eles já conheceram” trabalham
no Centro para Educação Internacional (Center for International Education).
