During his undergraduate education at Columbia University, Imo was sponsored by the NIKE Corporation through the Jackie Robinson Scholarship Foundation as well as the One Hundred Black Men Foundation Scholarship. At Columbia, Imo excelled in the Art History Department and was honored with the inaugural Senior Thesis Prize for his essay “A New Vision: Exploring the extent to which black art should be considered essentially on political grounds.” This work was based on Imo’s extensive interview with the internationally celebrated African American artist Whitfield Lovell, who was recently honored with the prestigious MacArthur Genius Award. Imo graduated with departmental honors in Art History and was named a Columbia University Kluge Scholar. Converging Aesthetics: Counterpoint in Image & Text, 2009
