My name is Solomon Alolga and currently an accounting and finance major at Berea College, Kentucky. I was born in Ghana,, West Africa and moved to the United States in 2009 to attend Leesburg High School as an exhcnage scholar through the Youth Exhance and Study Program(YES) Program sponsored by the US Department of State. While in Florida, i volunteered at local  schools and taught Ghanaian history to students. I also served as a summer counsellor for a nearby summer camp in 2010. After graduation i moved to Kentucky to  study at Berea College.

I am very passionate about entrepreneurship and technology. At berea, i am a fellow of the Entrepreneurship for Public Good, a pretigious program that trains student entrepreneurs on campus to work on strategies to develop solutions to the most pressing needs of the Appalachia region.  On campus, i am also involved with Enactus, formerly called Student in Free Entreprises(SIFE) and served as the president  from 2013  to 2014 academic year. 


I am very excited to be apart of the University Innovation Fellowship program. I hope that i would gain valuable knowledge and get to head the stories of other student entrepreneurs and how i can create an ecosystem on campus that encourages students to get involved in entrepreneurship and innovation on campus.
