Favour Oloriegbe

Biography

As a University of Kansas freshman, Favour Oloriegbe was on a road trip, passing through Baltimore on the way to visit relatives, when she saw a sign that changed her life:

“Johns Hopkins.”

And just like that … “I’m going to go there.” Her surprised and very skeptical companions scoffed. What did she know about Baltimore? And Johns Hopkins University? She was a new arrival to the United States from Lagos, Nigeria, still learning her way around Lawrence KS. Johns Hopkins … yeah, right.

Fast forward to junior year. An email brought a survey gauging student interest in continuing education. Oloriegbe dutifully filled it out, not expecting much … especially not a letter of interest from the Johns Hopkins School of Nursing. But there it was, clear as a neon sign on a city skyline.
