Gunnery trustees, faculty, and administration gathered to honor Jin-Young "Clifford"
Yang '98 forhis generous gift towards the renovation of the student mailboxes in the lower level of the Frances & Leo D. Bretter '53 & P '88 Student Center. "When I was a student here," said Clifford, "the mail boxes were wide open. There were no locks, no security, and no privacy." As a student, Clifford pledged a gift towards the installation of new mail boxes. With his generous donation, combination locks and mail box doors were constructed. In her acknowledgement, Head of School Susan Graham said, "Clifford was the first student during my tenure to make an unsolicited gift to the school in support of a project in which he had a personal interest. He has continued to support The Gunnery every year since his graduation." "I am very pleased that I could make a difference," said Clifford. "The Gunnery meant a lot to me, and I wanted to give something back." A native of Korea, Clifford returned to Seoul upon his graduation from Syracuse University to work with various finance and business companies on projects related to subway safety.
