Growing up in Tuskegee, Ala., Ninrat Datiri dreamed of becoming an inventor. He attended high school at the Alabama School of Math and Science in Mobile. When it came time to pick a college, he chose the University of Wisconsin-Madison for its engineering program.
“I’ve had a great experience here,” said the 21-year-old African-American senior. “It’s going to be hard to say goodbye.”
If only UW-Madison could find more students like Datiri.
