Ib’s story is one of perseverance in the face of challenges. For years, he dealt with an undiagnosed hearing loss, but he didn’t let that stop him from pursuing his dreams. In 2013, while studying for his master’s degree at Towson University, Ib underwent a hearing screening that revealed the extent of his condition, which was devastating news.
Despite this setback, Ib continued to push forward and make the most of his potential. Just four months later, he was one of only 20 students selected out of a pool of 208 to receive the prestigious Towson University Graduate Fellowship Award, which recognizes exceptional academic and personal achievement among graduate students.
If you’re looking for a speaker to inspire your students, Ib can share his story and show them that anything is possible if you believe in yourself.
