Akunna Cos-Okpalla '28
Flower Mound, TX
Akunna, a first-generation Aggie from Flower Mound, TX, is pursuing a Bachelor’s degree in Finance at the Mays Business School with a minor in French. On campus, Akunna serves as a Zone Leader for Freshman Leaders Establishing Excellence (FLEX), Service Executive for Ryllies Women’s Organization, member of Pre-Law Society, and a camp counselor for both Fish Camp and Camp Kesem. Beyond her campus involvement, Akunna is a member of St. Mary’s Catholic Church and has volunteered with Habitat for Humanity, Anson Jones Elementary, and Meals on Wheels, experiences that have grounded and deepened her love for community. In her free time, she enjoys reading and writing, spontaneous late night trips, crocheting large projects, asking hypothetical questions, and exploring new cuisines through cooking/baking. Looking forward, Akunna hopes to one day pursue law, but primarily apply her studies abroad in France, by pursuing mastery of culinary arts; she wants to create an intersection of leadership, hospitality, and human connection by opening a fusion farm-to-table restaurant that gathers people together with authentic food. Akunna believes in loving loudly, leading with curiosity, and inconveniencing herself for the convenience of others.
