When Kemelbek Urmat Uulu arrived at Penn State Abington, he was nothing short of awed by the “everlasting opportunities” open to students. So he jumped into everything he could handle - plus a little more just to make life interesting.
“College helps you discover who you are and how you will leave your mark in the world,” he explained. “Abington is where I took full possession of my success, and I became the person I always wanted to be.”
Kem became that person through co-editing the college newspaper, playing on the tennis team, and holding leadership positions in organizations including the entertainment and programming board and Community Outreach Workers. Through a faculty connection, he also wrote for a local news website.
