DAVID JAMES
Treasurer of Student Branch
Hello, my name is David James and I am the treasurer at Christian Brothers University for IEEE. I was born and raised in Memphis, Tennessee and am currently a Junior at CBU double majoring in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. On the weekends, I run the helpdesk at CBU. I also help tutor others in various Math subjects throughout the week. Outside of school, I am a third degree black belt in Tae Kwon Do and an Eagle Scout from a local Boy Scout Troop. For the future, I am considering getting a Masters to further my engineering degree, and eventually hope to get my MBA. As to how I want to use my degrees from CBU, all I can say is that "I want to do something in computers." Only time and opportunities will tell what that will be.
