A MESSAGE FROM SELINA ESTEVES
Influencers come in many forms. They can be special people in our lives, leaders in society or an experience that leaves an indelible mark and helps shape who we become.

This issue shares some of the stories and efforts of those in our alumni and donor family who are influencing the world around them in a myriad of ways; the common thread is their positive impact. Each of us can be an influencer, and we celebrate those who step intentionally into the role for the betterment of all.

Enjoy.

Sincerely,
Selina Esteves
Director, Advancement and Alumni Relations
