ALUMNI MAGAZINE Summer 2018 | Page 4

EDITOR-IN-CHIEF

Welcome to yet another edition of our digital Alumni Magazine.

Our theme for this issue is Giving Back. This has been inspired by the numerous efforts that USIU-Africa and the Alumni Fraternity are putting in to support bright and disadvantaged students acquire a world class education at USIU-Africa.

The inaugural alumni endowment fund diner took place in August 2018 and was aimed at establishing a fund to support gifted but underprivileged students. Read more about that on page 6.

We also have a story on an alumni charity golf tournament that took place in June 2018 whose proceeds will go towards supporting brilliant but needy students. Read about it on page 36.

In this issue, we also get to feature two financial aid beneficiaries who share their stories on how their lives were impacted through USIU-Africa's financial aid program. Read their stories on pages 16 and 38.

For the first time ever, we get to feature an alumna from the 10,000 women program who gives us insights on how going through that program impacted her business and her life as a whole. Catch that story on page 22.
