Collin D. Bray ’06 is the vice president of sales at Century 21 Cityside in Boston, where he has hosted an intern from his alma mater every summer since 2013.

Tom and his wife, Judy, created the Gladys A. Burrows Distinguished Professorship in Nursing and supported the ongoing comprehensive campaign. In 2016, Csatari received the Susan Colgate Cleveland Medal for Distinguished Service. He holds a B.A. in history from Dartmouth College and a J.D. from Vanderbilt University School of Law.
