As a grad student, Dana was very active looking out for the interests of all grad students. He served as the Vice President of Internal Affairs for the Graduate Student Association for multiple years. Since he graduated last spring, Dana has continued his committement to grad students. He continues to work on projects he begun as VP Internal, such as lobbying agains the misuse of student fees for the RIMAC Annex. Additionally, Dana serves as an advisor to the current GSA executive board and a source of institutional memory. I highly reccomend Dana for the Outstanding Graduate Student Support Alumni Award.
