He is the author of numerous scholarly publications.
“Excelsior University changed what was possible for me, and service on the Alumni Leadership Council is a way to give that opportunity forward,” said Arima. “My commitment is to our alumni community, to inclusive engagement, and to ensuring that Excelsior University continues to grow in reach, relevance, and purpose ever upward.”
