Dear Sojourner — Olujobi '25

By Ruth Olujobi, Class of 2025

From the streets of Ikorodu, Lagos, to a college in the United States, Dear Sojourner traces Ruth Olujobi’s remarkable and transformative journey across continents and through college.

As the first and only child in her family to attend college abroad, Ruth did more than just attend classes—she thrived. Dear Sojourner shows students how they can navigate the layered experiences of college: balancing academics, building meaningful friendships, dealing with failure, loss, and homesickness, chasing big dreams, maximizing opportunities, and growing financially, personally, and spiritually.

To the dreamer in every student, Ruth shares stories, reflections, and insights from her college journey. Dear Sojourner offers honest encouragement, practical wisdom, and heartfelt connection for your own path.
