MARYLAND – A student in Maryland is sharing his story about moving to America when he was just four years old, becoming a United States citizen, and now working toward his graduate studies while owning his own business.
“I was young when I moved here, so most of it honestly I don’t remember the transition,” Akanni Salako said.
Akanni is a third year graduate student at the University of Maryland Eastern Shore who moved to America from Nigeria when he was four years old. Since then, he’s graduated from college, started his own business on the Eastern Shore, and is now working toward a graduate-level degree. But to understand how he got there, you have to understand some of the challenges he faced along the way. Namely, not being a United States citizen.
Students, staff and faculty members at Salisbury University and the University of Maryland Eastern Shore will be required to receive a COVID-19 vaccination before returning to campus in the fall.
The decision was made by the University System of Maryland following a meeting of the USM Board of Regents. If we examine the data and there is an extraordinary accumulation of data we see that the risk of vaccines is very low, whereas the risk of COVID is very high,” USM Chancellor Jay Perman said in a statement.
“This mandate was not undertaken lightly. It was based on the recommendation of a USM workgroup I convened this semester one that includes university-based experts in public health, infectious disease and emergency management. It was based on advice from the USM presidents all 12 System presidents and their cabinets. It was based on consultation with the University System’s shared governance councils representing students, faculty, and staff.”
