John Borawski

Associate Director of CASA / Academic Coach

Coffee fuels John’s morning, LEGO fuels his creativity, and his wife and three cats ensure neither gets out of hand. When he’s not building tiny brick creations or volunteering in the community, John is helping students explore the potential they have and how they can make a positive impact in society. Life is a healthy mix of fun, learning, and the right amount of cat-induced chaos!
