Sophomore Ei Noe (class of 2021) came to the U.S. from Burma with her family in the early 2000s. The psychology major comes from a family that helps the Burmese refugee/immigrant population settle in Atlanta.
At Berry, Ei works for the Bonner Center for Community Engagement for her Gate of Opportunity Scholarship and is a part of Emerging Leaders. These things have helped her become more service and leadership oriented. Ei hopes to go to medical school and eventually help low-income families, refugees and immigrants settle and offer the same assistance her family received.
Ei is a Gate scholar like her older brother Naing Oo, who also went to Berry. The Gate of Opportunity Scholarship Program helps financially-eligible students who will work hard – in the classroom and out. “The characteristic that led me to apply to Berry College was the first impression I had when I visited my brother when he was a student here,” Ei said. “The campus was breathtaking, and the professors and community were very welcoming.”
