As a graduate of #PennSP2’s Master of Science in Nonprofit Leadership Program, Jonathan Muruako, CAS’17, NPL’24, has completed his collegiate career while working to help others navigate education as the founder and CEO of Fitalyst. For this initiative, Jonathan was named the winner of an inaugural innovation competition launched by the Penn Center for Inclusive Innovation and Technology (PCIIT). We asked Jonathan to tell us more about his journey and what he hopes to accomplish through the competition’s non-equity prize.

🔵 Why did you choose Penn and SP2?
In 2013, as a wide-eyed Black kid born in Mississippi with Nigerian roots, I chose Penn for my undergraduate college experience. My initial visit to Penn was during the Multicultural Accepted Student Weekend, which was also my first time on a flight, my first time in the Northeast, and my first time surrounded by peers with whom I could fully relate. I eagerly embraced the chance to spend the next four years at a place that felt unfamiliar yet brimming with hope and charm. This four-year experiment transformed into eleven years of earning degrees in behavioral science, public health, and bioethics, culminating in a Master of Science in Nonprofit Leadership from SP2 with a focus on social entrepreneurship.

🔵 What are your career goals?
My company, Fitalyst, leverages learning analytics and behavioral design to provide first-generation, low-income students with timely and personalized wellness and academic support, meeting them where they are. I will be leading this initiative to guide every first-generation student to success, and if our approach helps these students, it will one day help all college students navigate their academic journeys. SP2 is my last stop in my collegiate career, and it has fully contextualized what it truly means to do good by doing well.

Penn Today recently spoke with four professors — including #PennSP2`s Dr. Amy Hillier — who changed course in their academic journeys. Hillier began her career studying historical mortgage redlining and moved into supporting trans youth.

An associate professor at SP2, Hillier currently pursues research interests related to LGBTQ communities and is the founding director of the School`s LGBTQ Certificate Program. She continues to lead walking tours of the historic 7th Ward, one of the oldest Black neighborhoods in Philadelphia.
