Ahmed Mohammed is no stranger to helping those in need.
More than a decade ago, Mohammed, then a medical student in Egypt, regularly volunteered to aid refugees passing through the Libyan desert during his school breaks. For three years, two of which coincided with the Arab Spring, he drew on his skills and sense of compassion to help displaced individuals and families seeking medical attention.
Years later, Mohammed, who hails from Libya in North Africa, came to New Mexico State University to further his education in public health.
“I worked with a lot of refugees and displaced people living in camps, which piqued my interest in public health and led me to NMSU,” said Mohammed, who expects to earn a master’s degree in public health in December.
