Meet Maliq Dancy

Maliq Dancy (He/Him/His)

Major: Biology

Maliq was part of the first group of students in the Lebron James Family Foundation (LJFF) iPromise program and that’s how he discovered Kent State as an option for college. The scholarship he received from the Kent State was a key factor in his college decision. Maliq said,

“My parents probably helped me most in choosing my college, this way it was not too far from home, but still far enough where I feel independent,” Maliq said.

Being a biomedical engineer would be Maliq’s dream job, and the one thing he’d like other members of The Class of 2025 to know about him would be “I’m really introverted.”

Maliq's message to himself in 2025

“I would ask what I’m doing with my life at that point.”
