鈥淏eing part of planning Business Leader of the Year, first as a volunteer and then
as a co-chair, has been one of the biggest honors of my time at UAF. It showed me
how strongly Fairbanks, UAF, and CBSM show up for one another. To me, real business
leadership isn鈥檛 about titles or money, but about using your success to lift your
community, and BLOY lets students like me be a small part of that.鈥
