When you think about pursuing a career, do you also consider how it may impact your community? In this week’s episode, we are joined by Mohammed Ali, a graduating senior at Northern Kentucky University. Mohammed is majoring in Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, while also serving as an Auto Repair Technician for his own business. Born and raised in Uganda, Mohammed knew at a young age that he wanted to help his family get out of poverty and uplift his community. Find out why this first-generation student founded the first Muslim Student Association (MSA) on his campus and why it is important to be a powerful influence on your campus. Mohammed is currently completing his Bachelor of Science degree in Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering at Northern Kentucky University. As a Mechanical Engineer Coop at Cincinnati Automation and a private business owner, he plans to build a career in manufacturing automobiles. Mohammed will be the first in his family to graduate from college and he looks forward to helping his community better understand the use of its resources. He is also a member of TRIO and credits NKU R.O.C.K.S. (Responsibility, Opportunity, Community, Knowledge and Success), an African American Student Initiative signature program for his successful transition from high school into college.
