Joseph Dabu was the recipient of the 2017 APIA award for
academic excellence and community/campus service. Joseph's high GPA earned him a place on the President's Honor List. After Joseph worked as a
staff writer and news editor for the FC Hornet newspaper, his efforts paid
off and he will be transferring to USC in fall 2017 as a journalism major. In

hard work, strategic actions, and networking have a growth mindset. Joseph was
