RERUN: S2EP8. Defeating Life's Challenges Through Continuous Learning and Perseverance w/ Jolly Karungi

While waiting for the newest season launching this fall, we have
something special planned for your listening enjoyment. Get ready
to revisit some of your favorite Eccles Business Buzz episodes
with our timeless reruns.


In this episode from season 2, we have Jolly Karungi, a graduate
of the David Eccles School of Business and Eccles student of the
year in 2020.


During her time at the Eccles school, she participated in the
Business Scholars and First Ascent programs in addition to a
variety of other student organizations on campus. She graduated
with a major in Information Systems.


Jolly was born in the Republic of Congo and lived in a refugee
camp in Uganda for several years before coming to Utah. 


She shares the struggles she had to endure living in different
environments and the difficulties navigating systems without
knowing how to speak the language. However, her passion for
learning and adapting together with perseverance helped her
overcome the challenges.


Jolly also tells her plans after graduation, her future goals,
and what excites her the most in going back home where her family
is. 


Eccles Business Buzz is a production of the David Eccles School
of Business and is produced by University fm.
