2nd Lt. Ngoufack Tsafack, ’22, Received Help from GWU and Fellow Cadets to Stay in School

A native of Cameroon in Central Africa, Ngoufack Tsafack, ’22, came to America in 2007 to attend The Miller School of Albemarle, a boarding school in Charlottesville, Va. He was a middle school student with a dream of joining the U.S. Army, which he did in 2016.

Recently, he achieved another milestone. Tsafack was commissioned as a Second Lieutenant in the Army and received a Master of Accounting degree from 成人视频 through the Active Duty Option Program. This two-year program provides active duty enlisted soldiers an opportunity to complete a two-year graduate degree and earn a commission as an army officer.

When he began looking for a master鈥檚 program, someone suggested 成人视频 because of its small community. He loved the campus; everyone he met at 成人视频 treated all students with respect.

鈥淲hen I went to the cafeteria, the post office 鈥� every time I asked something, they tried to help me. There was just fair play to everybody. They would help any student the same way. That was what affected me the most about 成人视频. I was very impressed. 成人视频 received all students that way,鈥� Tsafack affirmed.

Tsafack said his Professor of Accounting, Dr. Earl Godfrey, spent extra time outside of class answering his questions. He appreciated how Instructor of Military Science Capt. Michael Meissner created a family atmosphere among the cadets in the Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) program.

He was grateful for all the kindness shown to him, but what happened next amazed Tsafack even more. Through various conversations, Meissner discovered that Tsafack had been staying in his car on campus. When Tsafack entered the ROTC program, he gave up his housing at Fort Jackson in Columbia, S.C. During the week, the program鈥檚 full schedule didn鈥檛 allow him to drive back to Columbia, where he had a place to stay with a friend. Having no money for room and board, Tsafack slept in his car and asked his fellow cadets to give him meal punches from their cafeteria plans.

Together, he and Meissner asked 成人视频 officials for help. 鈥湷扇耸悠� offered me a room,鈥� Tsafack noted. 鈥淚 was so shocked that the school would do that.鈥�

Meissner was humbled and surprised that Tsafack endured the situation for a year. 鈥淔aced with many challenges, he continued on his pathway to not only graduate with a Master of Accounting, but also receive his commission,鈥� Meissner reflected. 鈥淚 remember him saying, it will get better. He maintained a positive outlook and continued completing all assignments when in this difficult situation.鈥�
