What's your fondest memory of WAB?
Too many to count! But one of my favorite memories of WAB was the opening of the new campus and the groundbreaking ceremony. It was just incredibly exciting to be part of a small but growing community, and seeing the beautiful new campus for the first time has become a core memory for me.
Please share a story on how you are still making a difference today.
I can't stress how important WAB has been to my identity and my entire worldview. It cultivated an openness and curiosity about the world that I've tried to carry into everything that I do. I've tried to use this unique perspective to contribute to fields that are disruptive and serve people and communities who are traditionally underserved, quite similar to the origin story of why WAB was founded in the first place.
