Name: Chelita Pate
BYU employee since: January 19, 1989
My job at BYU is… Coordinator of International Study Programs, which means I am lucky enough to work with Faculty, Department Chairs and Associate Deans to help them develop their study abroad programs
Different cultures and languages ...sparked my interest in my field
I’m currently reading... Leadership and Self Deception
My advice to graduating seniors is… make your education count not only for making money but for making a difference in other people’s lives
The best-kept BYU secret is… going on Study Abroad because you learn so many things that are impossible to learn sitting in a classroom
The title of my autobiography would be… She Lived The Dream
On Saturday mornings you’ll find me... singing and dancing to Latin music while I do weekly chores
One item on my bucket list is… to go to Antarctica
