Memorable occasion for young Partheepan
View(s):It was a memorable occasion for young Partheepan Shyamsunthar (Colombo International School – Kandy), the latest student to be placed by Scholarships for USA (Pvt) Ltd (www.scholarshipsforusa.com) at the University of Cincinnati (www.uc.edu) with its Global Scholarship (to study Electrical Engineering) when introduced to Kishu Gomes MD/CEO Chevron Lubricants Lanka PLC.
Kishu, sharing his life experience with the youngster told him how smart Sri Lankans are one on one, on a level playing field like in US and the importance of “keeping the eye on the ball and foreseeing the images of success down the journey for self motivation’ all the time and setting realistically optimistic goals to pursue relentlessly. “do not try to be a copy cat but learn from everyone who has 
something unique to offer in terms of personal attributes- emulate what’s most relevant and build your own mix of strengths for maximum value creation” he added. Considered a top CEO of the island having won many national and international awards for leadership Kishu is also a past President of American Chamber of Commerce in Sri Lanka.
University of Cincinnati is among the top 25 public research universities in the nation and among the top 200 research universities globally. As pioneers of cooperative education (paid hands on work experience in industry – currently ranked 4th in the nation) giving its graduates a huge advantage of securing global employment opportunities immediately upon graduation, UC has become increasingly popular in Sri Lanka ever since it was introduced to the island by Scholarships for USA (Pvt) Ltd in ‘07.
The other accolades it has won places UC in the top tier of “Best National Universities”, among the nation’s best institutions for undergraduate education and among the world’s most beautiful campuses.
