Why did you join the Alumni Board?
I am hoping to encourage social opportunities to bring our Alumni back to Campus where they can reconnect with other Alums and support our Students.
What is your favorite thing about Walsh?
Walsh is a very special place. I had the honor of attending Walsh when it was under the direction of the Brothers of Christian Instruction. They created an atmosphere of love, caring for all the students and went out of the way to support us. I cherish the relationships formed with the Brothers, Staff, Faculty, and Fellow Students. To this day my closest friends are Walsh graduates.
