Favorite CMU Memory:
There are so many! I will never forget my experiences with Greek Life, Student Activities, Student Government and the Volunteer Center. Being able to be involved on campus with these groups helped create lasting friendships and memorable experiences. I will always remember coming into the UC every morning at 8 am to open the Volunteer Center, and grabbing dinner with friends after the Monday night SGA meeting. I will never forget cheering on my Phi Tau brothers as the first base coach during our games, or helping create the first Relay For Life event on campus.

Why do you serve as an ambassador of the University? :
Giving back is important to me, thanks in part to my undergraduate experiences at CMU. And those experiences have helped equip me to put my own stamp on the world. Being an ambassador allows me to highlight the amazing work that is happening on and off campus for students and alumni alike. And hopefully through these highlights, encourage my fellow alumni to engage with the University and students to consider CMU to earn their degree. And finally, part of my Fraternity's creed is " I shall be loyal to my college and my chapter and shall keep strong my ties to them that I may ever retain the spirit of youth," and being an ambassador is a perfect way to show my loyalty to CMU and deep pride in what CMU provides our community.
