What a monumental milestone—your ascension to Full Professor of Mathematics at Auburn University (AUM) is not just a personal triumph but a historic victory for the Oromo people and all who believe in the transformative power of education. Your journey—from the rural heartlands of Oromia, where roads and schools were scarce, to the highest echelons of academia in America—is a living testament to what faith, resilience, and unyielding determination can achieve.

✨ A Legacy of Firsts and Fearless First Steps

• The first Oromo to attain a Full Professorship in Mathematics—a barrier shattered, a ceiling broken.
• A pioneer who translated math textbooks into Afaan Oromoo in the 1990s, ensuring knowledge reached even the most marginalized.
• A scholar who authored Geometrii Oromummaa, proving that excellence and cultural pride are inseparable.
• A mentor whose life whispers to every Oromo child: “Your dreams are valid, no matter where you begin.”

🌱 More Than a Mathematician: A Man of Faith, Family, and Service

While your mathematical brilliance has earned global recognition, your true legacy shines in the love you pour into your family, the humility you carry despite your achievements, and the quiet strength of your faith. As Galatians 6:9 reminds us, “Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.” You, Professor Aga, are that harvest—proof that steadfastness bears fruit.

Your children will inherit not just your name but the blueprint of perseverance. Your students will remember not just your theorems but your belief in their potential. And your people, the Oromo, will forever cherish you as a symbol of what is possible when intellect meets integrity.
