Over the years, Dominican students have risen above many challenges and emerged top of their class at many universities. This is year is no different.
Many of the students are away from family and friends, have to worry about finances to maintain right standing with the school or where they are going to spend the summer. On top of that the students this year had the added displacement caused by COVID-19, yet their studies didn’t suffer. What determination and will!
We at Emonews will be featuring some of the top students at Midwestern State University who have done exceptionally well and made us all proud.
