After Completing Own Education Journey, NDMU Grad Builds School to Support Children Back Home in West Africa


BALTIMORE – Nafissatou “Nafi” Diene ’23 recently completed a major personal milestone, earning a college degree from Notre Dame of Maryland University’s School of Education after immigrating to the United States as a non-English speaker 26 years ago. She accomplished that feat while dedicating an equal amount of effort towards building a school in the West African nation where she grew up.

Alumnae and Alumni Weekend will take place September 22 - 24, 2023. Registration opens on July 5 and closes on September 17 at midnight. Early Bird pricing will be in effect until August 20 at midnight.

Our keynote address will be from 11am-12pm in LeClerc Theatre. Following the keynote, we invite all attendees to share in a community lunch in Doyle Dining. Afterwards, faculty, staff and students will join for facilitated workshops held throughout campus from 1pm-1:45pm and 2pm-2:45pm.
