More than 200 people came to experience the two-day exhibit at Tribeca Cinemas Gallery.

  • Go-Giver Book Event at Ernst & Young

    I loved Bob Burg’s Go-Giver: The Five Laws of Stratospheric Entrepreneurial Success and Heath brothers’ Made to Stick: Why Some Ideas Survive and Others Die. I worked with EY to host a book event. The authors donated 200 books and Bob graciously came to speak. It was a great to see go-giving in action!

    In 2002 I had an idea that the School of Computer Science should have an online presence, a site that connects the students together.

I led a small team of three, designed and built Lifebook. It had all the features we wanted—event posting, photo albums, and messaging. I graduated in 2004 and a few hundred undergraduate CS students were part of the community. I loved the creative process, the design process, the build. What I didn’t realize, was the commercial value it had, and the rise of social era that was taking shape 500 miles away, at Harvard, now known as Facebook.

    Education and philanthropy play critical roles in the advancement of humanity.

As a second-term board member, I have been consciously evolving our strategy to better engage the younger generation. Thus far we have doubled membership to 3000+, nearly a third of overall alumni population.
