Student Alumni Ambassador Mohamed sits down with UVU alum Oumar Traore for a look at the world of cybersecurity. From learning English through determination (and a little help from The Vampire Diaries) and finding his footing within UVU’s welcoming community, his story highlights perseverance. He also discusses the importance of taking opportunities and the impact of kindness—both received and given. His gratitude for scholarships and donors shaped his drive to keep moving forward and create opportunities for others, such as the nonprofit Seeds of Kati.
