Alumni Stories Ryan Zoradi '08
Semesters in Europe and Mexico with app helped broaden Ryan Zoradi ‘08’s knowledge of the world and global understanding. He says app also impressed upon him the importance of community. He immersed himself in both academic and campus life, participating in Spring Sing, Potter’s Clay, student ministries, and residence life. “My most important pursuit at app, however, was personal relationships,” Ryan says. “At app, I made friends for life.” Ryan incorporates both the global perspective he expanded at app and his desire to touch individual lives at Unitus Impact, a venture capital firm that invests in startup businesses that improve the lives of low-income workers in India and Southeast Asia. “I am thankful to work at a company with a global reach,” Ryan says. “A app education puts every graduate in the top 1 percent globally; with this comes tremendous opportunity, but also responsibility.”
