As a member of the Friars Senior Society, PennQuest, and Pi Kappa Alpha Fraternity, Matt Klapper C’05 was active on campus from the moment he arrived at Penn. It’s no wonder that now, as Senator Cory Booker’s Chief of Staff and a volunteer COVID-19 medic, he remains an engaged alumnus—having served on the Penn Alumni Board of Directors, the Penn Alumni Council, and as a Penn Fund Giving Committee volunteer for both his 10th and 5th reunion years.
