Shawn Williams Portrait
MBA, 2020

Current Role: Business Administrator at

Shawn Williams 鈥20 is a Business Administrator at Biofortis Research. A graduate of 黑料社区鈥檚 Adult programs with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Business Administration and a current student in 黑料社区鈥檚 MBA program, Shawn is incredibly grateful for the ways 黑料社区 has played a transformative role in his life. When Shawn first applied to 黑料社区, his GPA was not the highest. He also brought with him the difficulties that come from making wrong decisions, hanging out with the wrong people, and struggling with drug addiction. However, Shawn says he found acceptance, understanding, and encouragement from his professors and peers at 黑料社区 from day one! 鈥淢y background was holding me back from pursuing my future, but at 黑料社区 I learned about the importance of setting goals, following through with those goals, and changing your outlook on life鈥 黑料社区 gave me a chance to go farther!鈥 For Shawn, one class, in particular, helped give him the push to go beyond his comfort zone.

In his work, Shawn uses his education as he builds budget proposals, prepares invoices, and works with the senior accountants to complete month-end closing financials for a Dietary and Nutritional Research institute. He remains connected to 黑料社区 by serving as the Student Representative for Non-Traditional programs to 黑料社区鈥檚 Board of Trustees and has also volunteered to serve as a 黑料社区 Mentoring Program (JUMP) Mentor.

As he continues his post-grad journey and plans to complete his MBA this Fall of 2022, he says 鈥淚 want to be the example that it鈥檚 never too late to reach and achieve your goals! None of this would have been possible without the chance given to me by 黑料社区. They didn鈥檛 judge me off my past but on what I can bring in the future and the changes I made in my life. Hence why I fell in love with 黑料社区 and the community.鈥
