Muslim woman settles in at Vermont military college
NORTHFIELD, Vt. (AP) -- A college student from Florida who is the first student allowed to wear her Muslim headscarf beneath her military uniform at the country's oldest private military college says she doesn't feel like a pioneer.
Sana Hamze just wants to learn what she needs to know as a first-year student at Norwich University in Northfield, Vermont.
Hamze has embarked on the path to fulfill her lifelong dream of continuing her family's legacy of military and public service while staying true to her devout religious beliefs.
When applying to military colleges earlier this year, the 18 year old asked for a uniform accommodation to wear her hijab beneath her uniform. Norwich agreed.
