Denis Aliu
Northeastern University '06
"I want to thank you for all these years of support. It’s been a real pleasure knowing you. I can’t put it in words how much your help meant to me. Almost four years ago, I entered Northeastern University. As a newcomer to this country, I had limited resources to afford an education such as that offered by Northeastern. But your assistance made it possible. It is thanks to you that now I am proud to graduate from Northeastern University. My desire for excellent academic results was in part influenced by my silent commitment to be and deserve the title of a Stephen Phillips Scholar. In addition, serving the community remains a promise of mine which I will always try to reward.”
