A view of Chrisitan Kargea from USA at Apeejay College of Fine Arts, Jalandhar.
Jalandhar, November 25, 2014: Chrisitan Kargea, an International Business Developer for Vitamin Shoppe-the second largest retailer of nutritional supplements in U.S.A with 700 stores, was welcomed warmly by Dr Sucharita and faculty during her visit to Apeejay College of Fine Arts, Jalandhar.
Karega is the co-founder of Zimbawe Education Fund, a nonprofit organisation which focuses on economic empowerment of over 450 students. Her work in the field of education has earned her numerous awards and tremendous recognition. She is the recipient of Stanford Distinguish Service Award, the Marvin A. Last Leadership Award, Harvard Business School’s Horace W. Goldsmith Fellowship Award. Kargea, an alumni of Stanford University, and Harvard Business School, U.S.A. was shown around the College Campus where she enjoyed a dance performance by the P.G. students of Dance and a musical recital by the P.G. students of Music. She also showed a keen interest in understanding the intricacies behind designing for interiors, fashion and textile. Multimedia, Applied Art, Fine Arts, Sculpture, Physiotherapy, and I.T. Blocks were the other departments that she visited during her trip to the Institute.
Speaking about her experience, Karega said that it was a sheer pleasure to be in a diverse and culturally rich country as India. She was delighted to see the extremely sophisticated infrastructure of the College and especially the art work which she felt was better than the ones in the museums in New York City. She was extremely impressed by the concept of preservation of culture that Apeejay College of Fine Arts was upholding. She resolved that she would do something similar in the schools in Zimbabwe. In her message to the students, she said that they should follow their heart, only then would they be happy workers. She said that there was a lot of potential for cross cultural learning and suitable opportunities could be created to tap into this potential.
