Why give back?

I believe we burn brighter and see further when we lift one another. To quote Sir Isaac Newton “if I have seen further, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants”. I strongly believe in giving back to my community and I have chosen CU for its inclusive and accepting culture. Always a Raven.
