“It was a big challenge for me, transitioning to a new country, a new culture, and having to learn and adapt to the environment. It was a huge moment, but with the help of the GC support team that I had around me at Greensboro College, it’s been pretty easy. The thing I like most about Greensboro College is the community and family that people have built here. I love the relationships and how people are willing and ready to help you, especially my professors. I am incredibly grateful to them. I plan to go to med school after gaining more experience as an EMT.” – Odofin

Meet Sharon Dei-Tumi from the class of 2015.
Learn about how she used the knowledge and skills from her time at Greensboro College to pursue a career in medicine. Sharon was a Biology major and double minored in Chemistry and Humanities.
“One of the things I also really liked about Greensboro College is the emphasis on what are you going to do when you leave here, and for me, what that looked like was…I was given the opportunity to do an internship…and through this internship, I ended up getting a job after college. I ended up finding out about public health, which I ended up doing as my master’s, and then through that, I found out about podiatry, and now I’m a podiatry student.” – Dei-Tumi
