Graduated in 2022
Yasser Aponte became a Foundation Year scholar and enrolled at Northeastern in 2016. Initially indecisive, his interest in traveling and experience exploring different religious texts in high school led him to a double major in International Affairs and Religious Studies.
“I am very grateful; I am very blessed to have had the opportunity to take my academic and research and apply them to the real world. It makes me feel like an advocate for knowledge, for education, it makes me feel humble.”
Ultimately, Yasser aims to give back to his community by creating opportunities for others to thrive.
