Rafael's father died when he was five and his mother raised Rafael and his brother, a senior at Loyola University in Chicago, alone. Rafael plans to graduate in four years instead of the required five by attending summer school and then to enroll for the one year in an overlapping graduate program for architecture students. I want to thank you for helping to make this possible. Medical school is hopefully in my future, although as of yet I'm still undecided in what to major. Already I am part of an intramural Ultimate Frisbee team and I hope to try out for the equestrian team.
Life is good.
Thank you again for your kindness and generosity. The Cornell VISA card is the only credit card that supports Cornell Alumni Federation Scholarships. In addition to the 23 scholarships funded for the 1998-99 academic year, the card has made possible grants to 27 alumni organizations to build and strengthen alumni programs and support of the university. It also supports the Cornell Alumni Federation Grant Program. The project, which began in 1996, collects oral histories from Cornell's oldest alumni, attempts to collect and preserve in oral history the experience of Cornell and Cornell's influence on the personal, professional, and community life of the students it graduates.
