Director of Fellowships and Advising, Barbara Gorka, shares that “Ray’s leadership in SAASA was showcased when the club was selected for a substantial $350,000 grant from Uber for Temple students who needed a ride in unsafe situations. Ray orchestrated a comprehensive campaign by collaborating with Uber and It's On Us. She embodies the service, leadership and academic excellence that characterize Diamond Award recipients and is the strongest Truman applicant I have seen in my nine years at Temple”
