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

My liberal arts education gave me the broad knowledge base that enables me to succeed in a constantly changing industry.

Why did you become involved with the CLA Alumni Society?  

My professional success and personal satisfaction are closely related to my experiences as a CLA student. As a CLA Alumni Society volunteer, I am able to give back to the college while continuing to benefit from all that the University community has to offer.
