Campaign Statement

Cooper Union will always have a special place in my heart. I am forever grateful for the education I received and the wonderful experiences and connections I made with some of the most talented, smart, kind and caring individuals.  If I can in any small way help use my skills to help Cooper Union to continue to provide opportunities to enrich the lives of the next generation and help on their path to great accomplishments and the achievement of their goals, am happy to do so. I’ve participated in Mock Interview Night and most recently on the CUAA Gano Dunn Award Committee.  I am interested in joining the CUAA and to continue to help in whatever capacity that I may be of assistance to aid in sustaining The Cooper Union and in bringing together and giving back to those in our unique and great community.  One is known by the company they keep and to me there is no better company then my fellow alumni.
