Award Recognition

Indelible Mark
Robert Harron Award
John is recognized for continuous and sustained efforts to better the Columbia community and leave an indelible mark in the classroom, campus activities and sports, and within the greater NYC neighborhoods adjacent to Morningside Heights. John serves as a tutor and the Chief Marketing Officer of Columbia's First Generation Investors, a student-run non-profit that teaches high school students from underserved communities the power of investing, and brings classroom lessons to life providing students real money to invest. As one of the original members of the Columbia chapter, he helped expand the organization to over 32 schools across the country. Nominated by varsity heavyweight men's rowing coaches for the Columbia Lions Leadership Initiative, he has actively participated in Columbia's efforts to create authentic student-athlete leaders on campus. John is the honored recipient of the Robert Harron Award for his commitment and demonstration towards generosity, compassion, and enhancing life at Columbia.
I am honored to receive the Robert Harron Award as well as the King's Crown Leadership Excellence Award for the Indelible Mark. I have been supported and inspired by many professors, coaches and community leaders and I'm grateful for their influence. I will continue to strive to make a positive impact on this remarkable community.
