Kulewicz’s Tips for Success in Academics, Careers and Life:

1. “In terms of anyone’s career, it’s very important to become an expert
   in whatever field you’re in and maintain your expertise. Being pretty good is not enough anymore.”
2. “No matter what, maintain your integrity. When you go through your
   career, different things can happen and different situations can arise, but people in any field are always looking for people they can trust.”
3. “Cultivate outside interests. Find thing you like and enjoy and don’t forget about them. I’m more athletic, so I play golf and tennis. That’s been great for me because you get to meet new people, and it helps you make sure you don’t get so buried in work that you lose your perspective.”
