Mahad Dahir

Mahad ran for Vice President of the Associated Students of Highline College (ASHC) and won! He is not only the first person from the Highline Achieve Program, a program for students with disabilities, to serve on the ASHC…he now serves as President of ASHC!

Mahad also graduated from our inaugural Self-Advocate Leadership Training Program (SALT), which helped him advocate for people of color with disabilities. He served as an expert witness at meetings with state legislators!
