To celebrate the upcoming commencement on May 30, we are featuring some of the class of 2024 this week. Read on to learn more about these impressive and inspiring graduates! #MCC2024

Mohamed Souhail

As a teen in Italy, Mohamed Souhail never imagined he would end up in Rochester, NY, to attend college. Now, he can’t imagine not having pursued his education at MCC.

Mohamed is an international business major who is passionate about international finance and languages. He says MCC has been essential to his success.

“The accessibility and support of the professors have been exceptional. Moreover, being a part of the Honors Institute has been a transformative experience, said Mohamed. “Through engaging with challenging coursework and collaborating with like-minded peers, I acquired essential skills that will undoubtedly benefit me in the future.”

In addition to his studies, Mohamed was also a member of the men’s soccer team, was a peer navigator, worked in the Student Life & Leadership Office, and was a member of the Model UN 2023 team. He was inducted into the Phi Theta Kappa (Alpha Theta Iota Chapter, the International Honor Society of Two-Year Colleges, received an honors convocation, earning a place in the top one percent of all MCC graduates, and was named to the Dean’s list in the Fall 2022, Spring 2023, Fall 2023, and Spring 2024. Mohamed also received the Arnold L. Johnson Endowed Scholarship, Athletic Excellence Scholarship, and Salute to Excellence Scholarship.

Mohamed says his desire to improve day after day and to contribute positively to the lives of others motivates him to succeed. He added that although his family was not physically with him during his MCC journey, their support was a powerful source of strength for him.

When asked what advice he would give his 16-year-old self, Mohamed said, “Embrace resilience. Life will throw challenges your way, but do not let them deter you. Every experience, both good and bad, shapes you into who you are.”
