Our Alumni
Prudent Ndihokubwayo (2022) spent years sweeping up the notes and wrappers left behind in classrooms at USM. All the while, he couldn’t wait to get his protective hands around the one precious piece of paper he worked so hard to earn–his diploma. He graduated on Saturday, May 7, with a bachelor’s degree in English, which is even more remarkable considering he could barely speak English about 10 years ago.
