#MemberMonday spotlight is on Ira Puranik, Preside #MemberMonday spotlight is on Ira Puranik, President of the @arizona.mortarboard chapter 🎓 

✨ Career goals? Biomedical informatics and computational neuroscience.
✨ Favorite service project? We hosted a donation drive for our university’s campus pantry, which supports students, faculty, and staff facing food insecurity. The drive collected over 250 donations that directly benefited the campus community. The event raised awareness about food insecurity on campus and encouraged community involvement, which is something I am incredibly passionate about.
✨ Why did you become a Mortar Board?  I became a Mortar Board because I didn’t want my final year of college to be solely about graduating. I wanted to be part of an organization filled with like-minded people who are passionate about creating a lasting difference. Joining Mortar Board gave me the opportunity to develop my leadership skills while celebrating this important milestone alongside others who share the same commitment to service and excellence.
