February 2021 was the first time that first-year University of Cincinnati student Zedekia Samara had ever encountered real snow.
“It’s refreshing to look at, but the feel of it on the other hand,” Samara says with a hearty laugh on a Zoom call from his UC residence in Morgens Hall.
Samara is one of two students from Tanzania, East Africa, who are attending UC as Global Opportunity Scholars. He arrived on campus in January and the second student and roommate, Timoth Akama, arrived in mid-February. Although they both settled into UC housing at the height of a Cincinnati winter, and during a worldwide pandemic, they have managed to maintain sunny dispositions.
