During a pause from a busy workday, Niyi “John” Olajide BSTE’04 sits at a conference table overlooking the Dallas North Tollway to visit with four engineering students who want to know about his career journey.
Olajide is young, successful and philanthropic: At 34 years old, he is running a vibrant technology health care business, and he recently created the first Opportunity Fund to benefit a student group at UT Dallas.
Students in the National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE) at UT Dallas will receive support for educational programs, travel and more, because Olajide, a former member of the student organization, wants to give back.
