#TerrierTuesdays: Meet Lul Mohamud (CAS’19), a recent #BU2019 graduate with lots to be proud of when looking back at her Boston University experience. For Lul, Commencement weekend is more than an opportunity to celebrate her achievements. It’s a chance to honor the sacrifices her parents, Sahdea Amalin and Hassan Mohamud, made to help her achieve her dreams. A neuroscience major, Mohamud says the best part about graduating was standing in her scarlet cap and gown and "turning around and look back and feel the love and excitement radiating from the people who worked so hard to get me here.” The newly minted graduate says she was attracted to BU because she wanted a university that would challenge her. She chose the BU_CAS neuroscience program because she had always been fascinated by how the brain works—an interest fueled by family members with Alzheimer’s disease and those in her family’s close-knit Somali community who had experienced trauma. In addition to juggling the demands of the neuroscience program, Mohamud was a CAS Dean’s Host and a peer fellow for the school’s FY 101 program, as well as an RA at Sleeper Hall her junior and senior years. Freshman year she joined 16,000 Strong, a BU student-run campaign created to prevent sexual assault and violence, eventually becoming cochair. — We can expect to see a lot of great things from Lul. You can follow her at thelulmohamud.
