The beginning of a new year is always an important moment because it gives us the chance to assess our goals as we prepare ourselves to move forward to meet new challenges. Here at the Office of Alumni Affairs, we are especially proud of the alumni stories we presented each month throughout 2017, and continue to be proud of the accomplishments, visions, and strong characters that we profiled. These alumni exemplify the core values of YU’s educational mission, and we are delighted to offer you their stories one more time. What will be our stories for 2018? Please fill out this form if you’d like to suggest or nominate someone to be profiled. We look forward to sharing the life-journeys of our alumni with the YU community and the world.
