From Student to Sustainable Leader: A Journey Fuelled by Corvinus and Hungary
Wilhelminah Juma, a recent Corvinus University of Budapest graduate from Kenya, credits her time in Hungary with shaping not only her academic path but also her passion for sustainability and innovation. Now, she’s poised to turn her ideas into impactful solutions that bridge business and environmental responsibility.

A Journey Shaped by Hungary and Corvinus

“As a fresh graduate, I am honoured to carry the flag of Hungary and Corvinus University into the next chapter of my life. My time here has shaped not just my academic journey but my worldview, mindset, and career ambitions.

Building a Sustainable Future

My next big step is to grow the green consulting startup I founded during my studies, a venture that was supported by the Corvinus BOOST Program. I aim to provide sustainable solutions for businesses and communities. I look forward to making a positive environmental impact while representing the values I cultivated in Hungary.

Giving Back Through Mentorship

As a proud alumnus, I plan to give back by sharing my journey and experiences with future applicants, especially through social media. I will actively guide prospective students through the Stipendium Hungaricum application process by offering tips, mentorship, and encouragement, just as I experienced during my mentorship journey with HOOK.

Staying Connected and Giving Forward

Staying connected with Hungary and Corvinus is a top priority. I will continue to promote Hungary’s culture, innovation, and beauty through digital platforms. I also hope to return in the near future to pursue a PhD, further strengthening my ties with the Hungarian academic community. Moreover, I plan to collaborate with fellow alumni across borders to build a vibrant, global Corvinus network that fosters learning, professional growth, and cultural exchange.

Looking Ahead with Hungary in My Heart

Five years from now, I see myself leading a sustainable enterprise that drives change across borders, with Hungary always close to my heart. My experience at Corvinus has transformed me by broadening my perspective, building lifelong friendships, and equipping me with the tools to think globally and act responsibly.
