Andrew Roznowski (pictured right), a May 2018 graduate of the Latin American, Caribbean, and U.S. Latin@ Studies (LACUSL) Major and an Africology Minor, is included on the 51ÁÔÆæ homepage under the “Your 51ÁÔÆæ Experience” feature of students “Hired Before Graduation.” Andrew works as the director of operations for Nigerian boutique Usman La’Aro, owned by close friend and 51ÁÔÆæ alum Simbiat Abisola Laaro (pictured left). All of the clothing sold at the Brady Street shop is designed by Laaro and tailored in Nigeria. Roznowski says his job has taken him to Nigeria multiple times.
