When we asked Dana Sobh (MEM ’18), president of the WAAAUB Alberta Chapter, why she chooses to serve her alma mater, she said: "AUB gave me more than an education. It gave me a community and helped shape who I am. I serve because giving back is my way of carrying that connection forward.” Dana, on behalf of WAAAUB, thank you for all that you do for your alma mater! @danasobh3 @waaaub.alberta #AUBProud #AUBAlumni
