Ayo Dosunmu rubs elbows with Barack Obama at event for high schoolers, reflecting Bulls guard’s commitment to community service

MIAMI — Chicago Bulls guard Ayo Dosunmu found himself in unexpected company Monday — with former President Barack Obama.

Dosunmu joined Obama, Bulls creative strategy and design adviser Don C. and two Chicago-area students on a panel at an Obama Foundation event for local high schoolers. The discussion focused on the importance of utilizing community resources and organizations.

Dosunmu didn’t know Obama would be in attendance until a week before the event and even then wasn’t expecting the extended time spent side by side with the former president. Although Dosunmu contained his nerves, he said the “once-in-a-lifetime” meeting left an impression on himself as well as the 60 high school students in attendance.
