BGS: Fareed's Story

Fareed Baksh

After dedicating 30 years of his life to a career as a creative director and graphic designer, new management arrived and Fareed found himself wondering for the first time in decades what his next step would be. He decided to use the radical change in his life as an opportunity to return to college with the Bachelor of General Studies program. Discovering that all his credits from his first time at Temple University as a graphic design major would transfer made his decision even easier.

The BGS program does a wonderful job of bridging the gap and humanizing every aspect of the program and that is a sentiment shared by a lot of my fellow students. They know and care about my story, my journey and they know what will work to help me get to the next step—that’s their goal as much as it is mine.
