UWindsor alumnus Franklin H. Ezenwa (BSc 2015), a motivational speaker, best-selling author, and software developer at IBM Canada, will discuss his career journey as an immigrant to Canada in a free presentation hosted by the Cube in the Freed-Orman Commons from noon to 2 p.m. on Monday, March 24.
Ezenwa spoke at the Lancer Leadership conference in September 2023 and received the Odyssey Award from the University of Windsor Alumni Association in April 2024, recognizing his achievements at an early stage in his career.
He is the author of three books — Be a High Achiever: Achieving All-Round Success in College and University; Crack the Dream Job Code: How to Land your Dream Job in Canada as an Immigrant; and The Identity Manual: How to Define Your True Identity, Escape the Identity Crisis & Find Fulfillment.
Ezenwa will distribute 40 copies of Be a High Achiever free during the event.
“His insights will inspire our Indigenous and Black undergraduate and graduate students,” says Cube director Kemi Anazodo. “Students will gain insights from someone with a relatable experience, offering a perspective they can connect with.”
She adds that the event promises an opportunity for students to engage with and support one another and aims to inspire, educate, and empower students as they navigate their own career paths and aspirations.
The Cube is designed to break down the formidable barriers encountered by Indigenous and Black scholars in the areas of academia and career development. Learn more on the program website.
