Running For: Council, Nominating Committee


Campaign Statement

I am excited at the opportunity to reengage with the Alumni Association. It would be my interest to facilitate two efforts during my time on the Alumni Association. The first would be to provide the necessary support to ensure the continued success of ensuring quality students and alumni continue to enter and graduate our institution. My second goal would be to continue to work with fellow alumni, students, faculty and the Board on the mission of returning our institution to it’s full tuition scholarship.
