You have been involved with CMF since you graduated. How do you feel the organization has evolved?

I am honored to have been involved with CMF throughout various projects and initiatives over the last 8+ years. While the organization has grown in size and scope, it has remained focused on its founding principles and maintaining a familial atmosphere. CMF has always had a unique ability to respond quickly to student’s needs, which has only improved as the organization has grown. As an example, the foundation realized they had young, educated professionals who were eager to volunteer their time, and decided to pair them with local high school students to help edit their college essays, study for SATS, etc.

Do you feel CMF has impacted your life since graduation?

Yes, absolutely. I was tangentially involved with the organization through friends when I was in college and was very excited to participate in more events once I moved to New York.  I was very thankful to be involved with such an amazing and motivated group of individuals, especially as a recent graduate in a new city. The organization has been a wonderful constant over the past years, it has been very exciting to be a part of the new initiatives and meet so many new participants.
