Kevin Xu

Student Facilitator
Bio: 

Kevin is a junior in the Ross School of Business, though he could not tell you how this came to be. Though he has lived in Michigan for the past 9 years, Kevin still considers himself a proud New Yorker because he likes to be different. In his free time, Kevin enjoys reading, futilely hoping to absorb Al Pacino’s aura of cool through a television screen while continuously rewatching Heat and Scarface, and utilizing sarcastically self-deprecating humor to cover up his social insufficiencies and crippling angst.
