Starting when he was a student at Gadsden City, Aaron Richard has focused on expanding his network and growing his knowledge base by learning as much about as many different things as he possibly could. That mindset continues to serve him well. Currently a junior at Princeton University, Aaron is majoring in architecture and minoring in architectural engineering and urban studies all while being a defensive lineman on the Tigers football team, an admissions ambassador, a board member of Generational African American Students Association (GAASA), a mentor to high school students, and much more. His plans for the future include graduating from Princeton, obtaining a graduate degree, and becoming a licensed architect by age 30. His advice to other Gadsden City graduates is: “Don’t limit yourself to what you know; keep expanding your network and your mind.”
If you know a successful Gadsden City alumnus who is thriving somewhere around the world, we would love to include them in the Our Titan Family is Going Places campaign.
They can upload a short video (less than two minutes) and a photo here. The video should be an introduction of themselves, a synopsis of what they do in their career, and the coolest work-related experience they’ve had so far.
Make sure the video is between :30 and 2 minutes. The photo should be of just them with a background that reflects what they are doing in their career. They should be sure to use their name (first and last) as the file name for the photo and the video.
Along with the photo and video, they’ll need to complete the short survey here.
