Seeme Baqai Moreira, ’85, accounting

Realtor, Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage, Winchester, Mass. DAY JOB: I have been a successful real estate agent, mother and strong community activist and volunteer for the past 16 years. Success has followed me in each turn of my life because of the strong head start I received at Slippery Rock University. BACKGROUND: After SRU, I received my master of business administration degree from Bowling Green State University. I went back to Pakistan and worked at the World Bank’s Resident Mission for one year. My first job in the U.S. was heading an accounting unit at Boston Gas Company. I became a Realtor after my daughters were born. I am heavily involved in The Winchester Multicultural Network, a non-profit social justice organization, and serve as a member of an interfaith book club called “Daughters of Abraham.” INFLUENCE OF SRU: I came to SRU as an international student from Pakistan. I feel that I was transformed at SRU, not because I earned a degree, but because of the exposure to a whole new world. I soaked up information in my classes, attended as many lectures and cultural events as I possibly could, participated in a number of clubs and organizations and still found time to have fun and make lots of friends. My husband, Mario Moreira, ’84, and I give to SRU because we feel it is our turn to give back. The two scholarships that we fund is our way of expressing our appreciation to the institution that means so much to us.
