This week’s Campus Cutie, David Alfaro ’15, is just as sweet as the desserts he bakes. This cutie is always up for an adventure — after graduation, he is heading to China to work as an educational consultant for Dipont Management Group…even though he barely speaks any Mandarin. Get to know this cutie before he graduates, and if you’re lucky, maybe he’ll bake you cheesecake…
