Qusay Omran
Some of Qusay Omran’s fondest memories of his undergraduate experience are the impromptu meals he enjoyed with friends in Berkeley College’s dining hall.
“There was something special about the spontaneity of running into friends in the dining hall and bonding over dinner,” Omran said. “I’ll miss it.”
Omran, a chemistry major, embraced residential-college life at Yale. As a first-year student, he joined the Berkeley College Council, later serving as its secretary. He became a Berkeley College aide, organizing events and doing what he could to make his neighbors feel at home. His devotion to the community earned him Berkeley’s Fellows Prize, presented annually to the senior who has “brought the most light and air” to the college.
