Pitch perfect

Originally from Nigeria, Dabby transferred to Northwestern after attending a community college in Los Angeles, California. A business administration major with a minor in political science, he is a forward on the Raider soccer team. He says Northwestern’s helpful staff made the transfer process go smoothly, and he’s been impressed with the friendly and welcoming professors.

A balanced education

Northwestern has given me a better environment to focus on my academics and athletics. I have also been able to form strong relationships with my peers and coaches.

Growing in faith

Since Northwestern puts faith at the center of everything, it has been very easy to stay focused and grow in my relationship with God. The school holds me accountable for developing my faith.

Future-focused

I feel I am well prepared for the future. The solid educational foundation I’m getting at Northwestern will help me succeed in any career I choose.

Added value

I have gained a deeper connection with Christ during my time at Northwestern. I have also received excellent training in soccer due to great coaches and facilities.
