-I am a huge supporter of Vanderbilt's EMBA program. I joined the alumni circle, and I am an annual donor. I have made business connections in my new city, New York, as a result of my experience in Nashville. I attend Vanderbilt's alumni functions in New York to maintain my connection with the school.
