Campaign Statement
I am honored to again be nominated for the CUAA Council. By serving on the Council, I hope to give back in a small way to Cooper Union for the outstanding education I received. I see my role as Council member as promoting the interests of alumni, ensuring that the mission of the school is preserved, and helping to lead the school back to free. It has been a great pleasure for me while serving on the Council to reconnect and meet fellow alumni who are so talented and passionate about Cooper Union.
