Favorite Coe Memory:

I enjoyed the process of figuring out how the world worked and how I might fit in.  At the end of four years, I had friends that knew me as well as I knew myself.

What helped you decide to serve Coe by being an Alumni Council member?

I was provided with extraordinary opportunities, and I managed not to screw it up.  I joined the Alumni Council so a current high school graduate from a small town in Iowa might have the same opportunities that I was provided.
