2012 Senior Challenge Co-chairs

Beth Christensen, BA ’12, and Karan Kapoor, BS ’12, are this year’s Senior Challenge co-chairs. Although they come from opposite ends of the climate spectrum—Beth claiming that Buffalo winters are "nothing compared to Minnesota," and Karan used to 100-degree daily temperatures in Kuwait—they both share a common goal: to get as many seniors as possible to donate $20.12 to the Senior Challenge.

Beth, a star forward on UB’s women’s basketball team, can usually be found in the gym, but also finds time to volunteer with her fellow teammates for organizations like Habitat for Humanity and the Ronald McDonald House. After graduation, Beth plans on furthering her studies in a physician’s assistant program, with a strong focus on pediatrics and combating childhood obesity.

Karan is earning his degree in finance and hopes to "get a job in a big city like New York or Chicago" as an investment banker. President of the Inter-Greek Council in the School of Management, Karan "couldn’t have asked for a better four years at UB"—his time spent in Buffalo has helped shape the rest of his life.
 

Beth and Karan are encouraging their fellow seniors to make a contribution to the 2012 Senior Challenge. "It’s important to give back to UB because we’ve been given so much,” said Beth. Karan agrees: “UB has been nothing but a positive experience. I’ve made many friends, met wonderful professors and learned so much both inside and outside the classroom. It’s a great cause."
