Kieran Mumpuku is a long way from his home in Zambia but he feels right at home here in Texas and especially at WC.

"Here, everyone you meet greets you, and you can establish real relationships with your friends and instructors," Kieran says. "I have never felt left out or unwelcome."

Kieran is making the most of his time here, involved in several student organizations and as a member of the College's Phi Theta Kappa honor society. He's taking pre-med courses and preparing for a career in medicine, perhaps as an oncologist.

"There is more opportunity for involvement (at a small college like WC)," Kieran says. "And I'm learning from the some of the best instructors. WC is a small college, but big on purpose and mission."
