Nimra Farooqui ’26 MAT was the first in her family to study outside India. While working at a resort in Idaho, she met chefs who had graduated from JWU. They encouraged her to look into JWU, where she earned her Master of Arts in Teaching. “My cohort became my second family. We were a small group, but we supported each other through everything. They always respected me, my culture and my background and never let me give up.”
