Jay Gupta

A born leader, Jay Gupta embodies the characteristics of a lion as the “king of the forest.” Like a lion, Jay balances his social and private life well, from planning a successful Theme Nights and Prom as the president of his class to eating at restaurants with friends, where the chef made fun of his crew. Besides advocating for the people in his class, Jay dominates debate tournaments and has won the national championship, thriving in topics related to politics, economics, and commerce. Jay was also a two-year community service member. Although he will miss the close bonds of his class and courses like Honors Stories & Strategies of Entrepreneurs and Honors Economic Thought in the Modern Age, he will continue to lead and serve in the Stern School of Business in New York City as he pursues a dual major in Business and Political Science, delving into the fascinating intersection between government studies and economics. This Adam Sandler fan and Newport native will hold onto his strong bonds with his class, put himself out there, and connect with more people.
