Lent '96 leads Green Card merger

By Alex Shartsis | July 16, 1998

Taran Lent '96, vice president of the Hanover Green Card, is leading the Green Card's overhaul of the DASH office. Lent said his interest in the Green Card -- a debit card available to students for use at local businesses -- began his sophomore spring. "I was literally one of the very first card members," Lent said. He filled out his application, corrected the spelling mistakes he found on it and went into the fledgling Green Card office to turn in the corrected form and offer his help. Mitch Jacobs '94, founder and president, called on him many times thereafter. Lent returned to Hanover the summer of his junior year, both for football training and as an intern in the Green Card office. He went on to be one of the football team's co-captains his senior year, playing outside linebacker.
