ABOUT ME:

I am from Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Some of my hobbies are reading fictional books and watching movies. Something interesting about me is that I have a fear of blood or any kind of injury.

WHY I AM PASSIONATE ABOUT MINNESOTA STATE MANKATO:

Something I’m passionate about at this Univeristy is its international community and everyone who works here. The whole campus has this positive energy that makes me feel like home.  Everyone helps you in every way they can so you can achieve your dreams. I don’t really know what I would have done if I hadn’t come here.

IMPACT OF DONORS:

Minnesota State Mankato is known for giving different types of scholarships and services to students in order for them to have a positive college experience without any financial difficulty. These things wouldn’t have been possible without the generosity of our donors. 

COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT:

As a black electrical engineer, I am a board member of the National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE). I’m proud to be part of this organization as it helps engineers connect with the real world and help them start their career path.
