GALVANIZE: ISO - UDC Alumni

Good afternoon, all!

It's Carletta!

I'm seeking about 20-25 UDC alumni that would be willing to sign my form as a potential candidate for the UDC Board of Trustees.

Here is my short bio for anyone not familiar with me and a link to my personal website. Additionally, you can see some of my films in my signature. 

Reply to this email and I can send you the link to the form - feel free to share with anyone you know who is a UDC alum!

The deadline is May 15!

Best,

Carletta
