From CMJ student to partner at an international law firm, Michael Milazzo ‘11 continues to give back to the Kean community. During his time at Kean University, Michael was inspired by his parents and professors Jack Sargent, Ph.D. and Fred Fitch, Ph.D., whose mentorship helped him build his confidence and find his footing. In their honor, he established the Martha Gillen and Budd Milazzo Endowed Scholarship with a $50,000 donation to support communication students as they work toward completing their degrees. As a former CMJ Student of the Year and active department volunteer, Michael understands the lasting impact that mentorship and support can have on a student’s journey. Today, he is paying that support forward by investing in the next generation of Kean communication students.
Giving back is a way to pay it forward and honor those who have given to you.
