Now, almost a decade later, Omari is deeply connected to the University. He completed his bachelor's degree in global studies in the College of Liberal Arts with a minor in African and African-American studies, then earned a master's of public policy from the Humphrey School of Public Affairs. Now in the College of Education and Human Development, he is a Ph.D. candidate in comparative and international development education.
Last spring, Omari was elected to the University Board of Regents.
"This is the place where dreams come true," he says. "That's what I tell people all of the time and people laugh, but I mean it."
