SIRtify Coordinator

952-358-8139

Dualeh has nearly a decade of experience at Normandale, supporting students through advising and outreach. In 2017, while serving as co-chair of IMMOC (Indigenous Male and Males Students of Color)—a coalition of men of color across the Minnesota State system with a shared commitment to uplifting BIPOC male students—Dualeh helped bring the annual conference to Normandale. With the support of former Normandale President Joyce Ester, he expanded his impact beyond the event, leading cultural enrichment trips and offering intrusive, culturally focused advising to a small group of Black male and male students of color. These early efforts planted the seeds for what would later grow into Sirtify®.

He earned his bachelor’s degree in political science, American Racial and Multicultural Studies at St. Olaf College, and received his master’s degrees in Sustainable International Development and Conflict Resolution and Coexistence at Brandeis University

Previous to returning to Normandale to be the Sirtify® program coordinator, he worked as a senior academic advisor at Northwestern University in Qatar. Dualeh has also worked for TRIO programs at Normandale, St. Olaf College, Brandeis University and the University of Minnesota.
