Dung Tran is a sophomore here at IU majoring in Education and minoring in Art. He workers as a server for Big Woods Speedway. At his job, he “really enjoys connecting with strangers” who he would not have had the chance to meet otherwise!

The skills Dung feels he is developing the most are his teamwork, leadership, communication, personal development, instructing, multi-tasking, and relationship management. While it may seem like many of these skills have nothing to do with the other, they, in fact, are all crucial to Dung.

“Those skills not only will allow me to grow as a person, but [they will] also [allow me to be] compatible with others during certain tasks,” Dung said.

Dung sees himself being an elementary education teacher after graduation and hopes to still be in that field 10 years from now.

We can’t wait to meet some of your students down the road, Dung!
