My name is Kiel Hagley, and I am a third year Business Management major , Information and Technology and Marketing minor at the University of the West Indies St. Augustine campus located in Trinidad and Tobago. For the Fall 2021 semester, I was nominated and accepted to participate in a foreign exchange program at Concordia University in Montreal Canada which will greatly benefit me. Normally, foreign exchange students are granted scholarships to cover living and housing expenses. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, however, there have been delays and such scholarships are not guaranteed. I am therefore taking a proactive approach because as the Semester is set to begin in September 2021 . Given the opportunity to pursue my studies of Business Management at Concordia University, and since studying in another country has always a dream of mine, I hope that this opportunity will not slip away. After obtaining my Bachelors, I intend to pursue an MBA to further develop my career as a Business Operations manager or an IT director. Thank you in advance for your contribution toward my success.
