Tell me about your involvement with the Libraries.
During my time at Syracuse University, the library has become my home away from home. I've spent countless hours there, engaging with its vast resources to support my studies and projects. My involvement with the library has extended beyond just studying; I have had the opportunity to work as an innovation mentor at Blackstone LaunchPad, mentoring student entrepreneurs, helping them develop their ideas and navigate the challenges of starting a business.

The library has been a central hub for my academic and extracurricular activities, fostering my growth and development.

Why do you think giving is important?
I believe that giving is crucial because it creates a cycle of generosity and gratitude. When you give, you often receive much more in return, whether in the form of personal growth, strengthened relationships, or a sense of fulfillment. Giving fosters humility, reminding us of our interconnectedness and the impact we can have on others' lives. This mindset not only enriches our own lives but also helps build a more compassionate and supportive community.
