Jeanette Marasi, Class of 2021, is an Information Systems and Operations Management major. Engaging in her Suffolk experience, she serves as a RAM Supporter, 2020 Orientation Leader, and the Vice President of Programming for the Program Council, to which she says: “We have started our first event this year, Build-a-Ram, which has been great so far in providing first-year students with something to do on campus as well as lift up the Suffolk spirit.”
