Interview with MSU's Graduate School

Description

“I liked the idea that my research had a beneficial impact on society, so I started looking for universities working on similar research projects. Then I found that MSU, surrounded by natural marvels and technified agriculture, is suitable for this type of research [Precision Agriculture]. More importantly, I found really interesting ongoing research projects carried out by the School of Computing, the Optical Technology Center, and the College of Agriculture.” Georgio provided a bit of advice on his journey to share with future students.

     Giorgio also recommended some advice for incoming and prospective grad students: “Life as a graduate student has many different opportunities. There are several graduate seminars you can attend and be part of; I consider that a wonderful opportunity to connect with your peers on an academic level. There are also cultural and social activities that help you to balance life and connect with other people from diverse backgrounds, which is always a learning opportunity.” He further went on to suggest the following: “I would recommend asking as many questions as possible. You will find that there are a lot of opportunities on campus that can help you in many ways. You can find people who can give you advice on academic issues, organizations that care about your mental health, food scholarships, recreation activities, people who help international students, and much more.”
