Bank of America recently named Arizona State University alumna and Thousand Oaks resident Jennifer Zins a winner in the MyExpression Search for Alumni Passion contest.

Zins, class of 2007, was chosen for her 100-word essay on how she shows her Sun Devil pride by outfitting her dogs in ASU jerseys for football games, uses the ASU fight song as her cellphone ring tone and never misses a Sun Devil football game.

Zins won a $500 cash prize in addition to a $10,000 donation that will be made in her name to the Arizona State University Alumni Association.

Bank of America hosted the contest as a chance for alumni from Arizona State University and four other colleges to creatively prove their passion for their alma maters.
