Summer 2024 Award Recipients

Outstanding Graduate Award

Maurice Bin Batubenga is a Human Resources clerk and French Interpreter at Tyson Foods. He immigrated to the United States with his family in 2014 from Johannesburg, Republic of South Africa, and worked his way up from a parking lot cashier to his current position. After earning a Bachelor of Business Administration degree from UA Grantham, he is using his education to seek a leadership position within the company.

Maurice encourages his community to pursue education and demonstrates how a degree can change lives: "I came to the USA in 2014, from the Republic of South Africa, with my wife and children. I work full-time for Tyson Foods, and for five years I was a student at UA Grantham. It was not easy as a bread-winner to work ten hours a day, sometimes six days a week and be a college student at the same time. No matter how difficult it was, I do not remember being behind with my assignments or my weekly discussions. Because I know that wherever there is a will, there is always a way. I knew what I was pursuing, that is why nothing could distract me."
