Sigma Alpha Delta:

Daniel has been one of the most industrious members in the history of Sigma Alpha Delta. He engineered and oversaw a profound shift in the society’s philosophy. He joined in the Fall of 2006 and played a crucial role in the PR & Marketing Committee, which was then spearheaded by Belkys Ramirez. His tasks during the semester were to assist other officers in event planning and set-up and to create and appropriately distribute a bi-semester newsletter. In the Spring of 2007, Daniel was elected to the Executive Board as the Alumni Committee Chairperson. His passion, charisma and diligence inspired his fellow committee members to partake in the ownership of the society. Consequently, four of his committee members were elected to become leaders within the society and two of them became eventual Presidents. Due to his staunch principles, assiduity and embellished resume, Daniel was unanimously elected as the President of Sigma during the elections. During his presidency, he fortified ties with other clubs and organizations, was instrumental in the production of Sigma’s staple events and seamlessly guided the organization to what is now alluded to as the “Sigma Renaissance”.
