Loyal Wildcats: The majority in our office are UA alumni, and every
March Madness our brackets have the UA winning it all. It may not
always be realistic, but that’s just how loyal and dedicated we are.
A Social Education: I was involved in several clubs and
organizations. It was a great opportunity to meet people with
different backgrounds who shared an affinity for the UA.
Paying It Forward: It’s important for alumni to give back because it
helps sustain the legacy and the longevity of the university. It’s also
a way to ingrain the next generation of alumni with the same values
so that the cycle of giving continues.

An Old Red Brick: I have an original brick from Old Main that a
friend gave me when I graduated. It sits on my desk, and it has a
plaque on it that says “Old Main 1887.”

Growing Up Red and Blue: My dad is accounting department
head Jeff Schatzberg, so I kind of grew up at the UA. I remember
going to every Take Your Daughter to Work Day and coloring in
the back of his classes while he taught.

A Powerful Network: If I wake up tomorrow and say I don’t
like where I am now, I know my first stop is the UA. I have the
relationships with professors who can help me find my way.

Hi, Dad: I took my dad’s managerial accounting class while
in the MBA program and I really enjoyed it. I even became a
teaching assistant for a class he taught outside the UA.

In This Together: It’s important for all alumni to give back,
because any loss in quality or reputation is a reflection on all of
us. People should recognize the UA as a school that provides a
top-tier education.
