November & December 2016: Donor of the Month featuring Asim Ahmed
What does a multi-million dollar game like Pokémon GO and the Blue White Scholarship Foundation have in common? They both have the genius Asim Ahmed working on their behalf!
Asim has done extraordinary work in designing the new Blue White website from scratch, and he will be honored as the Donor of the Month for both November and December.
A graduate of the Class of 2016, Asim received a bachelor's degree in Economics from Villanova University with a specialization in Business Economics and a minor in Psychology. He is currently in San Francisco, CA, working in Product Marketing for Niantic Inc., a Google spinoff, and the company behind the global gaming phenomenon Pokémon GO. Although he has just recently graduated, his work experience is fairly extensive; his background includes having worked with the following companies: Machinima Inc., YouTube, PayPal, eBay Inc., and Warner Bros.
You may remember Asim from last year, that is because he was a 2015–2016 BWSF scholarship recipient. Last year was the first year we had, for 3 months in the Fall and 3 months in the Spring, 5 hours of “Give Back” time as a requirement for the scholarship. Because of the bonding created from this time spent together, many of the students became friends with one another and the students realized what hard work it takes to raise money. Asim realized that he could use his talents to help take the Blue White Scholarship Foundation to a more professional level. He has put his talent to work and I hope all of you will go to the new website, and see if you like the new look. Watch for more great news about Asim, who is now proudly serving on the Board of Directors and feel free to connect with him on LinkedIn.
