Meet Wisal

Picture

"My goal is to get more knowledge and training from this program, so I can help more immigrants and people who join Kirkwood as students, and help them succeed in their education and get better jobs and improve their quality of life."
​
Wisal Hussein is a RISE AmeriCorps member serving with Kirkwood Community College in Cedar Rapids. Wisal joined the program RISE because she was doing similar work for a Sudanese Community Services organization as a volunteer. She hopes to learn more about the resources available for refugee and immigrant students in order to bridge the service gap.
​
Wisal is very social and loves to be surrounded by people, work with, and help them. She is a longtime volunteer in serving Sudanese community, hosting social and educational events, and working on a board of directors for more than two terms.

Originally from Sudan, Wisal came to the US in 2001. She is a native Arabic language speaker and is also fluent in English. In her free time, Wisal enjoys hobbies likes sewing, cooking, decoration, and photography.
