Ambassadors
Alan Liu, HBA’06
My experiences and the life-long friendships that I made at Western helped me shape who I am today. It is a wonderful opportunity to be able to help and connect with Western students and alumni who are looking to establish themselves in New York.
Interests: Basketball, snowboarding, music, random unique experiences
Courtney Wright, BA’14
The Western community is global. When I traveled to Scotland wearing my Western gear, I had a dad stop my family on the street in Edinburgh because his son just graduated from Western. We may not know each other, but we all hold something special together. I look forward to connecting with new students and alumni.
Interests: Traveling, experiencing new cultures
Janusz A. Kaleta (Jan), MCISc'15
Western inspired me to follow my dreams regardless of challenges and taught me to look right into the eyes of adversity with courage! I want to share those values, support, and inspire Western students and alumni here in New York City.
Interests: Swimming, surfing, biking, traveling, reading, philosophy
