In academic year 2011-12 she was a student in CEU's Roma Access Programs. She took tutoring classes in public policy, then she completed her master's degree in the former Department of Public Policy. Choosing the Higher Education and Management track, she worked on the case of Romanian Roma students' participation in higher education.

"There is nothing more exciting than teaching a course I have taken, in a program I was part of, a program which has played an important role in my career," she said of her new position.
Congratulations, Simona!
