MBA '09, BBA '08 | Founder, Life Line Financial Group

The impact you have in the world is not measured by power, prestige or money, but the number of lives that were better because you lived,” he said. Perhaps not what anyone expected to hear from the founder of one of the top financial management firms in the country. No, these were the words of a Lobo. One who escaped unspeakable conditions in his home country of Uganda, came here, and found support, a new home and true success.

Junior | BA Media Arts

He’s been using the latest visual arts technology in our ARTS Lab, and working with teams in our Fabrication Lab, to help create dynamic projection displays in and around town. He’s just starting out, but he already knows his stuff. Which is why the City of Albuquerque sent him with a team to SXSW this year to help showcase the city’s entrepreneurial spirit.
