S4E3: Impacting Your Community through Vulnerability and Empathy feat. Abukar Hassan
This season we are talking all about impact – the people and experiences that have impacted us, the ways we are impacting others, and what we can all do to build confidence in our ability to make a difference.
Our guest today is Abukar Hassan. Abukar is a junior at the David Eccles School of Business, studying finance and entrepreneurship. He is a business scholars intern, a presidential intern, and a resident at Lassan Studios. Abukar is also one of only 100 students nationwide to be awarded the inaugural Obama Chesky Scholarship for Public Service, also known as the Voyager Scholarship, and he is the only recipient of that scholarship from the State of Utah.
As a first-generation college student, Abukar shares with host Frances Johnson how the impact of his mother influences his mission of service, the long list of organizations he is involved with on campus, how a number of University of Utah & Eccles scholarships got him to where he is today, and how to find your place and voice on campus.

Episode Quotes:Impact is a reciprocal experience
[16:55] You don't have to go into the community and try to change it, right? You will never experience somebody's perspective or experiences, but if you allow them to tell their story, you'll slowly understand what they love about this university and what they love about their community, but also understand the improvements and what they want to see change. And that's the biggest impact a person really can make: just listening, then letting them and helping them by being behind them and supporting them make those changes.
On finding a community of belonging in the campus
[30:16] If we have more people who have that mindset saying, "I want to amplify those voices of my community. I want to make those changes for my community," We will slowly turn into a community where we love and find belonging for every student here on campus.
On being the only Voyager scholar in Utah
[20:02] To represent our state in a positive way and hopefully bring in that impact that the state constantly needs to see, and have that leadership mentality of saying, "How can I help lead this initiative?" It's a blessing, and I'm excited to work with young millennials and people in general who are trying to do the same thing as our state does a great job at it already, but there are definitely parts where we can improve on.
