🌟 Donor Spotlight 🌟
Meet Ellen Casile Kostewicz, a proud member of our First 300 campaign! 🎉

Ellen (‘92, BA in Interior Design/Architecture) chose to give back because of the strong sense of community she found through the Asian diaspora during her college years. Now, she’s paying it forward to ensure future students feel that same support. 💙

Thank you, Ellen, for helping us build a legacy of connection, culture, and care!
