Leadership Life with Dan Kozlowski

As Regional Director of Big Shoulders Fund, Dan Kozlowski knows the importance of serving the Northwest Indiana and Chicagoland community. He grew up in Cedar Lake, attended catholic elementary and middle schools as well as Hanover Central High School, and received his Bachelor’s in business and accounting from Valparaiso University.

Once Kozlowski moved to Michigan to start his career after college, he quickly realized accounting was not the correct career path for him. He returned to Valparaiso University, received his Master’s in business, and began working closely with nonprofits in the area. Through his work at Marian Catholic High School in Chicago Heights, Ill., Kozlowski got a deeper understanding of what education truly means and how important a helping hand, like the nonprofit organization Big Shoulders Fund, can be for the youth.
