GRAD STUDENT PERSPECTIVES

Making UWL home

University of Wisconsin-La Crosse Graduate Student Jesimiel Banjiram is an international student from Nigeria. He came to study at UW-La Crosse in 2016, earning his undergraduate degree and then continuing on with UWL's master's program in Student Affairs.

"Looking back, I'll just be thankful for the experiences: the friends I was able to make, the networks I was able to establish. I know that these people would always reach out to me and make sure that — wherever I am in ten years — I'm doing great."
