I’m Kranti Budhathoki, student representative for PURE and AES 2019.  I’m a business major and a Senior at Western Oregon University.

       As an international student, AES has played a major role in my academic career. It allowed me to gain experience at a professional conference, inspire others and helped me to study and research a concept of my focus in more depth. Also, as an attendee, I got inspired, gained knowledge and was exposed to various academic programs. According to my experience, I believe AES is not only powerful for students because I remember the happiness in the faculty’s face and how thrilled they were and delighted to have their students present which reflected the students’ hard work and effort to make that happen.  I also hope many students will get enlightened by the projects and the presentations they experience through this event.
