Abnazer Abadi

My Pronouns are He/Him/His, and I am an Ethiopian and Black American student from Dallas, TX. While in High School, I was the Senior representative. This opportunity taught me how important it is to create and build a strong, inclusive environment where everyone feels represented and seen. I believe that challenges still exist in the barrier to scientific knowledge, such as unequal access to education, gender bias, and racial biases that hinder participation in scientific fields. As a member of the NSM Student Action Team, I wish to become a mediator between the students and professors of St.Olaf and serve as a voice for the underrepresented members in our community in the hopes of making St.olaf Olaf more equitable for BIPOC students.
