CNN’s Hero of the Year came back to Augustana College Wednesday, January 11th, for the first time since winning the award. Nelly Cheboi gave a mini-lecture at her alma mater. “It’s always like it’s been a place where I come when needing support, and just a reminder, this is why I’m doing it. She says that support is still needed to help students in Kenya now and in the future. Tracy Okech and Waithira Nganga, sophomores at Augustana, say her success can be summarized by one word: inspirational.
