Luc Mai is a 21-year-old student here at Morningside University. He studies Business Administration with an emphasis on Marketing and is also part of the soccer team here at Morningside.

After going to an international high school in Frankfurt, Germany, where he was born, Luc got a call from one of his friends who studied at Morningside to come join him here. Knowing that he can combine his passion for soccer with his wish to study Business Administration, Luc was highly motivated to join Morningside. In addition to that, this call also allowed Luc to escape from everything that was happening at home during that time. In a very complicated case, Luc’s father was convicted of murder. Because of these circumstances and the one-sided media coverage about this case, it was very important for Luc to find a calm place where he could feel at home away from home.

Nowadays, Luc is very engaged in communicating his and his father’s side of the story to the public. Luc doesn’t want people to judge his father “based on one side of the story and to show them that there is another side to this story”. In addition to that, Luc also started to talk about the motivation that helped him with his situation and keeps him going, on his Instagram channel @luc_mai.
