Changes

My name is Ali Djire and I am currently a Junior Business Administration and Agriculture double major at Berea College.  I was born and raised in Burkina Faso, also known as “the Country of Upright Men”, up until 2009 when I joined the African Leadership Academy in South Africa to further my education.

      The work-study program of Berea enables me to enhance my professional development while nurturing my work ethic. Additionally, my involvement with the Students Government Association, the African Students Association and the Mortar Board Honor Society has added a different flavor to my understanding of service and leadership. In fact, it only took me a few months to understand that great leaders are primarily great at providing services. Beside academics and labor, I stay active while having fun. I am part of the school track and field and the ultimate Frisbee team.
