Manage episode 284621627 series 2854773
In today's episode, I speak with Dr. Mercy Agyepong, who is an assistant professor in sociology of education at New York University. Dr. Agyepong received her PhD in Educational Policy Studies from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and she shares with us how she bounced back from a 2.16 undergraduate GPA, why she turned down a PhD acceptance from Howard, how she coped with going from a life in New York to a life in Wisconsin, and how she found mentorship outside of her PhD program.
