Student Spotlights
Olivier Uwamahoro
My name is Olivier Uwamahoro; I joined LSAMP at Sinclair Community College. I graduated last year with an associate degree in science, and now I am at Wright State University pursuing a bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering. At Sinclair, I was doing good with classes but was busy studying and working full time, and I thought I didn’t have time to join any group until my roommate explained the benefits of joining LSAMP and other groups.
