WANAMAKER SPOTLIGHT
ALAN ROSENBERG 8W8
Alan Rosenberg 8W8 is clear when asked what ’ s most important to him : “ Providing for my family and making sure they are taken care of in the short term and in the long run .” Alan shares that same passion and commitment to Williamson as a member of the Wanamaker Society .
An 8W8 masonry graduate , Alan has a very familiar story about his experience at Williamson . “ The discipline and focus that Williamson provided came at a time when I really needed it . It changed my life ,” says Alan . Although he didn ’ t get accepted the first time he applied to Williamson , he tried again the following year and was accepted . He says anyone who is familiar with the school knows first-hand the value of the education and the life-changing experience it provides . Alan made lifelong friends at Williamson and still stays in touch with his classmates today . “ We would do anything for each other .”
Alan said he made the decision to join the Wanamaker Society many years ago . “ Williamson has and continues to be a big part of my life and it ’ s only natural to want to support the school . It is not about the recognition ; it ’ s just making sure that you take care of the things that matter most in your life .” When asked what would you say to others who are considering joining the Wanamaker Society , Alan answered simply , “ It ’ s like the Nike commercial — JUST DO IT !'"
