In an effort to highlight the people who are leading colleges and universities across the nation, we at Watch The Yard reached out to UNCG and did an interview with Awa Mbai the 2023-2024 Student Government Association president.

“Student Government Association has given me so many leadership opportunities, and being here at UNCG has been able to allow me to connect with students and staff. UNCG has such a diverse environment, there’s something here really for everyone.”

Awa Mbai has been a member of the UNC Greensboro Student Government Association (SGA) for several years; but now, she’s taking on her biggest role yet, and thanks to UNCG, she’s ready to get to work.

The Local Vibe’s first ever Tailgate Series is allowing us to showcase Triad colleges and universities, as they prepare to welcome back alumni for the homecoming season!

A first-generation college student, Mbai helps people navigate immigration casework from Rep. Manning’s Greensboro field office – reporting to the U.S. State Department about cases and any problems people may be having.
