Favorite spot on campus - Doe Library and FSM! I spent many hours there, but I'll always recall the 24-hour 'Finals Week' sessions with my best friend as we deliriously tried to stay awake and study.
Favorite spot in NYC - As cliche as it sounds, Central Park, especially because of the seasons - which we don't have in California!
What do you remember most about your time as a Cal student? The diversity of EVERYTHING - the people, the food and coming from LA, all the nature! It was such an awesome experience meeting people from all over the world, getting to eat a different cuisine every night of the week, and being able to get away from the city, just by walking through campus.

Favorite spot on campus - The Chemistry Library. I worked as a librarian so I had keys to the office which contained an IBM Selectric II typewriter with correction tape built in – it was a real luxury to write lab reports and be able to correct my typing as I went!
Favorite part of being on the board - Enjoying games with fellow alumns. It is as close to being in Memorial, Haas, Edwards, etc.; stadiums…as possible.
What do you love most about being a Cal bear? Wherever I’ve been in the world, I’ve seen the script Cal logo and could shout “Go Bears” and get a big smile.
