About this listen
Meet Dr. Frank Gaertner, the associate director of academic advisement at Emory who oversees the international student academic advising program. More importantly though, Dr. Gaertner serves as a mentor and role model to many at Emory, as students and faculty alike appreciate the enthusiasm and passion that he brings to the Emory community. In our conversation we discuss Dr. Gaertner's childhood and what brought him to higher education. He tells stories of growing up in a small town in Ohio, traveling to South Korea, and taking more risks. Having Dr. Gaertner on the podcast was an immense pleasure, and I truly enjoyed diving deeper in his childhood and understanding what brings him joy in the day to the day right now. If you want to learn more about the adventures of a human being who grew up in a small town in Ohio, how he embraces the different cultures and perspectives of the bigger world, and how he impacts Emory students on the daily, this is the episode for you!
A takeaway: He encourages our listeners to focus on the identities that bring them joy other than being an academic super-star. In other words, life is more than school.
