When Moussa came to the U.S. two years ago from Burkina Faso, his native country in West Africa, he already held degrees in international environmental law from universities in his country and in France.

His goal at MCC is to improve his English language proficiency; he hopes then to transfer to a local law school to reach his goal of practicing environmental law.

Recently selected for membership in MCC's Phi Theta Kappa honor society, Moussa lives in Manchester with his wife and two small children and works full-time at night, in addition to his studies here at MCC.
