As a student, Jerry Reynolds, B.A. 2002, learned how to manage a crisis firsthand. Jerry was the tour guide coordinator in undergraduate admissions during the fall of his senior year — the same year as the 9/11 terror attacks on New York and Washington, D.C. Five years later, this CUA alum would put these same skills to use responding to and managing a community development program after Hurricane Katrina on the Gulf Coast.
