We would like to congratulate Promise graduate Nour Al Zouabi for receiving the Social Justice & Health Equity Award from Elena’s Light, a local non-profit committed to improving outcomes for refugee and immigrant women and children.
Nour, who is now a graduate student in Yale University’s School of Public Health, was an honors student as an undergraduate at the University of Connecticut, majored in Molecular and Cell Biology. She was the student speaker at UConn’s commencement ceremony last May. (upper right photo) She also delivered a speech at IRIS’s Run for Refugees 2024. (upper left photo)
