Patool Kutmah
When did you graduate?
I graduated from ISL in 2013.
Where are you now?
I am currently a sophomore studying Computer Engineering at Purdue University.
Where do you see yourself in five year?
In five years I see myself graduating college and working at a tech company where I can make a positive impact on the world.
What role did ISL play in your life?
At ISL I was able to grow up in a safe and nurturing environment where I was able to fully express myself, learn new things, and gain life-long friendships. In addition, ISL provided me with the fundamental knowledge of my religion and the Quran that have shaped who I am today.

When did you graduate?  I graduated from ISL in 2007, where I attended kindergarten through fifth grade.
Where are you now?  I am a PhD student in sociology at the University of California, Berkeley. As a researcher, I get to be involved in sharing new narratives about Muslims and immigrants with the rest of the world. I was a Patterson Scholar at the University of Kentucky, where I graduated with three majors: International Studies, French, and Arabic & Islamic Studies. Before that, I graduated from DuPont Manual High School's MST magnet.
​Where do you see yourself in five years?  InshAllah, I will be finishing writing my dissertation on applying for jobs as an assistant professor in sociology or Middle East Studies.
​What role did ISL play in your life? The Islamic School of Louisville gave me a very good foundation for my spirituality, a variety of examples for roles I could take on in the community, and practical teaching on how to be a Muslim. Equally as important, it provided a space where I could grow up feeling confident in my identity and beliefs before going into the world, where my identity and beliefs would be challenged.
