Recognized Graduates: Plans For Life After Point

1. Dacia Giordana, spanish education and international studies major

“Next semester, I’ll be student teaching in Ashwaubenon and I’m excited to actually use the skills I’ve learned here at UWSP to teach Spanish. After I graduate in December, I plan to stick around and work for about half a year, and save up for a return trip to Spain. I would like to hike La Camino de Santiago through Spain, which will take me a month or two. I’m not sure how long I’ll stay in Spain, but when I return to the U.S. I’ll find a position teaching either Spanish or ESL at the elementary level. Over all, I’m very excited for what the future holds.. Coming to UWSP was one of the best decisions I could have made, and it’ll be so hard to leave all my lovely friends.”

2. Marco Mascitti, wildlife management and ecology major

 

“After graduation I will be working in northeast New Mexico at Philmont Scout Ranch. There, I will be working to monitor black bears on the property and mitigate conflicts between bears and campers, and I will be using much of what I have learned through UWSP’s Wildlife Management and Ecology program. My time at Point has been invaluable and I am so thankful for all the teachers, staff and friends who have made it a great four years. I look forward to connecting with Pointers throughout the country for the rest of my career.”

3. Cailie Kafura, international studies and Spanish major

“I found myself in environmental activism when my eyes were opened to the destruction of Wisconsin in the way of mines and pipelines which catalyzed my need for action. Come August, I will be starting my year with Green Corps, an environmental activist training program where I will be trained by the MVPs of the environmental movement and then use those skills to run campaigns for the rest of the year in order to save the world. These four years at Stevens Point have been a cathartic and sublime experience as I have had the honor of being surrounded by the most fantastic humans that one would never expect to discover in the central cornfields of Wisconsin.”

4. Chris Powers, English major

“I will be taking a secretarial position for Embridge in Superior, Wisconsin. With my free time, I hope to publish stories I’ve been working on as well as writing independently for different organizations. I would like to thank the professors at UWSP for going the extra mile and really caring about their students.”
