Nudrat Fatima
Doctoral Student Natural Science“I would like to thank Nudrat for her golden heart and the unconditional support and generosity she offers everyone, particularly, to incoming students who need support navigating college life in America. As an international student, I truly believe that without Nudrat's assistance, I would have been completely lost as I arrived into America and started to settle here as a graduate student. Nudrat welcomed me with open arms and helped me adjust in East Lansing and at MSU in every way. For all Nudrat does, for everyone, and for everything she has done for me, I will remain forever grateful. ”

He has always been someone I could count on for guidance and reassurance. Angel is also incredibly resilient and hardworking. He finished his undergraduate degree in just 3.5 years, started his master’s program right away, and is graduating this semester. That is such an amazing accomplishment, and I am super proud of him. ”
