Student Success
FTCC student Jeff-Michael Fowe’s journey has taken him from his hometown of Boston, Massachusetts, to his ancestral home of Cameroon and back stateside to Fayetteville.
While living in Cameroon, Jeff-Michael’s father fell ill and needed emergency care. He was airlifted to a French-run hospital where he received the critical care he needed.
That event sparked Jeff-Michael’s interest in aviation, which he eventually broadened into an education path set on aerospace engineering.
Now, the 19-year-old is Raleigh-bound. He’ll leave FTCC with two associate degrees and begin his journey at N.C. State this fall as a member of the Goodnight Transfer Scholars Program Class of 2028.
The prestigious Goodnight Scholarships, established by N.C. State alumni Jim and Ann Goodnight, provide full-tuition scholarships and comprehensive student development programs designed to develop scholars into leaders within the STEM and STEM-education fields.
Jeff-Michael will pursue a degree in aerospace engineering, an interest he developed following a harrowing childhood incident.
He credits FTCC’s University Outreach coordinator Loutricia Nelson with providing key guidance as he navigated the first stage of his undergraduate journey.
“Ms. Nelson has been a tremendous help to me ever since I met her,” Jeff-Michael said. “When I met her, I was still searching for my pathway. She helped guide me, and she helped me pick my courses to make sure I was on track.”
Jeff-Michael was also a member of FTCC’s on-campus mentoring program, the YES Initiative, and utilized resources provided by his designated Success Coach, Tim Scott.
