UM-Flint recently featured the remarkable achievements of some of our very own Clio Area Schools Alumni: the Jarbou family. The article highlights how three first-generation siblings are each making significant contributions to the university community through the Honors Program.
Sarah, a senior nursing major, is excelling academically while preparing for a career dedicated to compassionate care. Samantha, a biology pre-med student with minors in chemistry and psychology, is demonstrating exceptional leadership as the president of Student Government, vice president of the Honors Student Council, and secretary for the Minority Association of Pre-Medical Students. Sebastian, the youngest, has begun his collegiate journey as a computer science major, student-athlete, and Honors student, already showing strong promise in both academics and extracurricular involvement.
Although each sibling is pursuing a different career path, their shared commitment to supporting one another—through coursework, volunteering, and campus engagement—stands out as a powerful example of family strength, determination, and community. Their story showcases the resilience of first-generation students and serves as an inspiration to others working toward their goals.
We are extremely proud to recognize the Jarbou siblings and applaud the positive impact they are making at UM-Flint. Their accomplishments reflect the values of hard work, leadership, and service that uplift their entire university. Once a Mustang, always a Mustang!
