====Present====
Due to her cultural background Michelle refused to pass up the opportunity to join the 2027 Multicultural Advancement Scholar ([https://www.cmich.edu/offices-departments/multicultural-academic-student-services/mac-scholars-program MAC]) cohort at Central Michigan University. As a MAC scholar Michelle not only expands her knowledge on different cultures and backgrounds but she is able to share her own knowledge and experiences as a way of connecting with those who were not previously educated on Ghanaian culture and black culture in general. Being a part of the MAC program Michelle has become heavily involved with the Multicultural Academic office on campus. She has served on multiple committees including the Martin Luther King Jr. Committee, where she gave her input of events that would take place during the week and played the role as coach of the student basketball team for the charity fundraiser held during this week. Michelle also served on the International Unity Festival committee, where she also provided input on how different cultures would be showcased and represented at the event.
Due to Michelle's academic and personal success she got accepted into the Honors Program at Central Michigan University where she participates in volunteer activities and honors related activities. Michelle has connected with many people within this program and is still a part of this community.
Michelle has many unique experiences such as being the first person in her family to be born in America and being considered as a first-generation college student as well as a first generation American. These unique experiences have helped spaced Michelle's life and has given her a broader perspective of the different dynamics of life.
