Uzoma Izunagbara
Uzoma Izunagbara is the affable product of a Polish mother and Nigerian father, but considers himself a “citizen of the world.” Uzoma studied English philology at the University of Gdañsk in Poland but had an opportunity in 2002 to study in the United States near his brother, who lives in Portland, Ore. “The ability to speak English fluently is a stepping stone to other careers,” said Uzoma. “Nursing matched my character because it’s more humane.” Eventually, Uzoma hopes to attain a Ph.D in medicine, with a focus in genetics. He serves his peers as a student senator and is a member of the Multicultural Club. “MHCC is a beautiful college. The teachers are compassionate and what we learn is updated,” said Uzoma. “There are very educated people here who serve as great resources.” |
