Why are you an active alum? This institution liberated me intellectually and I owe so much of who I am to this place. I also know that students need role models and support so I stay engaged for me and for them.

What advice would you give to fellow alumni?Connections to communities fortify our connection to humanity, so do not be discouraged from participating in a community once you have left its physical place. There is still a place for you wherever you want to be.
Why are you an active alum? The challenges we face today can only be addressed with collective, compassionate action. I am an active alum because I believe that action starts wherever you are, wherever I am, wherever we are together. I am an active alum because I want to foster that togetherness.
