Graduate Spotlight 🎓: Erick Múnene Njúe

Erick is from Kirinyaga County in Kenya completing his Master of Science in Education Policy and Leadership (EPoL). He is also a former Fulbright Language Teacher Assistant at UO. 

During his time at UO, Erick was a member of the Tuition and Fees and Advisory Board representing graduate students through budget preparation and reviews. He also worked as a hiring team member for dining services where he was responsible for reviewing, interviewing, and orienting student service workers. In addition to that he was a research assistant for an NSF grant project led by Professor Melissa Graboyes where he reviewed Swahili transcripts and provided analysis. 

"What made my experiences at UO special is being flanked by a great inaugural EPoL cohort, professors, friends, and advisors," Erick said. "I am grateful to my academic advisor Professor David Liebowitz and personal advisor Professor Mokaya Bosire. It was great sharing Swahili language and Kenyan culture with students and the greater Eugene-Springfield community in class and cultural events. I enjoyed volunteering at the food pantry and hanging out with friends at XAi Ducks and InterVarsity."

Upon completing his degree, Erick plans to continue his studies at UO in the doctoral program in special education.
