Back to Scholars



Given the shortage of doctors in his native Togo, Bronx Community College student Komi Attitso is passionate about becoming a radiologist. Komi arrived in the U.S. four years ago and while attending school, has worked multiple jobs, often overnight, in order to support his family back home. In addition to his full-time job, he is also working as a Chemistry Lab Workshop Leader, where he tutors and assists students.  Komi volunteers at the Jewish Home Life Care in the Bronx. Komi will be spending a portion of this summer in Jamaica with the Organization for International Development where he will assist medical professionals who will provide assistance to local residents.
