“It’s in the late-night study sessions, the back-and-forths with instructors who genuinely care, and the small, thoughtful conversations that shape your thinking in ways you only realize later. It’s a place where students are not just numbers, but people with potential and people who are believed in, even before they believe in themselves.

“To the class of 2025, as we prepare to leave this place, take a moment to remember not just what you’ve learned, but who you’ve become. Growth isn’t always loud. Sometimes, it’s quiet. Sometimes, it only shows in how you’ve become more patient, more confident, more sure of who you are. So keep growing. Keep showing up for yourself and be proud of how far you’ve come.

‘They say we’re reflections of the people who raised us, and I feel incredibly blessed to reflect the love, strength, and faith of my parents. Thank you for everything”. Abdullahi said.
