Service Through Social Media
  1. Informed millions (about 6 million) and influenced thousands of students worldwide to pursue research-oriented through my YouTube channel “Desi American Professor” https://www.youtube.com/@DesiAmericanProfessor
  2. Actively promoted the University of Texas at Arlington (UTA) among international students, encouraging them to consider UTA for MS, MBA, and PhD programs. For instance, I created a campus tour video and, in other videos filmed in UTA classrooms, I discussed various doctoral and master’s programs, as well as career opportunities. As a result, many international students became aware of UTA and subsequently enrolled in its programs after watching my YouTube content. These efforts contributed to an increase in graduate student enrollment (exact numbers unknown) in programs such as Information Systems, Business Analytics, Computer Science, and Civil Engineering, helping UTA recover from the post-COVID downturn. I obtained prior approval from the compliance department and the office of legal affairs before recording any videos on campus.
