Saluting an alum with passion!
Jennifer Zins ‘07 B.A. is the ASU winner for the 2008 Bank of America MyExpression™ Search for Alumni Passion contest. Zins won a $500 cash prize; a $10,000 donation will be made in her name to the Arizona State University Alumni Association.
She was chosen for the honor, which recognizes the most passionate alum at each university, based on a 100-word essay, in which she described how she outfits her dogs in ASU jerseys for football games, uses the ASU fight song as her cell phone ring tone, and never misses a Sun Devil football game.
Congratulations, Jennifer, and GO DEVILS!
