Be a Part of the Momentum: Victoria Cana (STEINHARDT ’16)
I will never be able to fully express how thankful I am that you've contributed to my education all these years. I hope you know that I've found more happiness, purpose, and motivation at NYU than I have in my entire life. Before, my dreams were just that—dreams. Now, they're actual opportunities I can envision a path to achieving. I will never forget the impact your generosity has had on my life.
