Duc Nguyen
Class of 2016
Before becoming a Buffalonian, Duc Nguyen grew up, learned and interacted variously with multi-cultural perspectives throughout the journey of life, which helps him to understand the diversities and difficulties that people of the community are normally facing. This played an important role in his decision to volunteer and assist groups of people in the Buffalo community who are under critical conditions which they cannot overcome by themselves — communication, language barriers, and other challenges in life.
During Emerging Leaders program, he is learning much from other leaders with passionate attitudes and gaining necessary skills to add to the knowledge he is getting at Erie Community College. He hopes that, in the near future, he will have more opportunities to aim projects at developing equity and social justice to Buffalo.
