Matt Moog, BS '92
 

Matt Moog, BS ’92, has always been ambitious. The successful alumnus recently launched Viewpoints, a website created in the tradition of Wikipedia and YouTube that lets people review products and services of all kinds.

Michael Ditkoff, MBA ’81, was recently promoted to senior budget analyst with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, the successor agency to the Immigration and Naturalization Service. His responsibilities include costing the agency’s payroll for each fiscal year to ensure it is sufficiently funded from congressionally approved levels.
J. Russell Fugett, MS ’07, son of former Washington Redskin and Dallas Cowboy Jean Fugett Jr., was sworn in to the Sons of the American Revolution in July. Fugett follows in the footsteps of his father and grandfather to become the first third-generation African American member of SAR. The Fugetts are descendants of Henry Bakeman–a free African who fought under Colonel Willett in the Battle of Ontario, NY. SAR is working to increase African American membership through its research on the military service of Africans during the fight for Independence.
Jack Gilbert, Ed.D. ’04, has written an article, Strengthening Ethics Wisdom: Tools to Transform Your Healthcare Organization, which was published by the American Hospital Association Press in July.
