MONROVIA – Ms. Francess J. Nyenpan, daughter of the late Public Works Minister Mobutu Vlah Nyenpan and Mrs. Lois Nimley Wisner (Attorney at Law) will be graduating from Temple University with a Bachelor of Science in Health Professions today, May 11, 2023.
Ms. Nyenpan has been recognized as the youngest graduate in the class of 2023 at Temple University in Pennsylvania. She joins nearly 10,000 students from 115 countries and 47 states in the United States in this achievement.
Before enrolling at Temple University, Ms. Nyenpan volunteered at the Ridley High School Peer Mentoring Program in Pennsylvania, where she graduated before entering college. As a peer mentor, Francess played an instrumental role in students’ lives, providing them with emotional support, especially to those who were misunderstood, and assisting elementary and middle school students with schoolwork.
Ms. Nyenpan wishes to return to Liberia after completing her medical degree to contribute to the health system. Her inspiration for this decision stems from witnessing her father’s struggle for survival at the John F. Kennedy Hospital in Liberia and subsequently being flown to Ghana for advanced medical treatment.

Frances paid tribute to her father, a faithful and loving parent whose memory she will always cherish. She also divulged that he instilled in her the importance of prioritizing God and education, a valuable lesson she holds dear.
