Volunteering Brings New York Alumni Together
Every year, a group of Anderson alumni in New York City volunteer to assist with the Gerald Loeb Awards, presented by UCLA Anderson to recognize excellence in business and financial journalism. For these alumni, it’s a way to stay connected to their alma mater. A journalist in the early part of her career, attorney M. Linda Dragas (’90) has been volunteering for 20 years. This year’s alumni volunteers also included New York City alumni chapter co-presidents Meghan Peters (’20) and Alex Moore (’19) who are leading the charge to activate the chapter.
Univision GM’s Mission to Inform and Empower Communities
When Veronika Moroian (’03) left Argentina to attend UCLA Anderson, she had every intention of returning to her IT job at IBM. However, Anderson introduced her to a new country and industry. Now the President & General Manager of Univision Washington, D.C and Philadelphia, and station manager of Univision New York, Veronica is a top executive at the nation’s largest Spanish-language media and content company. “The idea that I could make a career out of something I love doing, in an industry that made me feel a connection to home, was amazing to me.”
