ALUMNI GIVING “ACS continues to matter to me in so many ways even after graduation back in 2003. Every time I meet alumni, regardless of whether we had ever met while I was at ACS, we have an instant connection because of the ACS bond that we share. ACS offers an ever-expanding network of world-class educated alumni who are always ready to help, which I am grateful for. “This is the reason why I became involved, as soon as the opportunity showed up, with the Alumni Fund Advisory Committee (AFAC), an alumni-led organization which aimed to help alumni give back. I try to be involved with ACS as much as I can to help remind alumni of all that ACS gave them and to also explain how they could help the institution and its current students. I enjoy working with alumni, the ACS administration, and the board of trustees, as I sincerely believe this helps improve the school, and offers current and future students the opportunity to get an even better experience than I had.” Boris Statev ‘03 “I want to help kids with the skills and drive, but without the required finances, have the chance to experience and achieve the high-quality education (academic and personal) that I believe ACS provides and has certainly provided me.” Nikola Kouzmanov ‘02 18
