How did your student experience with CLA shape you as a person and/or professional?

The friends and contacts I made helped me obtain my first position in the business world and have continued to be a huge part of my life, both personally and professionally.

Why did you become involved with the CLA Alumni Society?  

I want to ensure that in ten years my children have the same amazing experience and are able to obtain a degree with great value in the marketplace.
