How Arcadia Influenced My Path

Arcadia gave me the exposure I needed to understand the world around me and to welcome the views of others, and the academic background to pursue the subjects and causes for which I am passionate.

Mentor Who Made a Difference

Through the mentorship of Terry Greiner, I got to understand the importance of diversity, giving back to society, and what it takes to change the life trajectory of the less privileged. I decided to move back home to Ghana and help change the lives of many Ghanaian children through education.
