'''Calvin Datze Sun''', [[Columbia College|CC]] '[[2008|08]] is a grade A blowhard who even basked in the attention that his father's death offered him. He was the Vice President of the [[CC 2008 Class Council]]. He was also the President of the [[Asian American Alliance]] and the founder and president of the Columbia University [[National Undergraduate Film Festival]] for 4 years. In his spare time, Calvin directs documentary films and music videos that attempt to compensate for his perceived lack of Asian self worth. (See "Directed videos")

Calvin works as the owner of Sun Farm Corporation as well as an owner of real estate property in Manhattan. He also is serving as Social Chair for the [[Columbia College Young Alumni]] and is on the Board of Directors for a large non-profit 501(c)(3) organization, the [[w: ECAASU | East Coast Asian American Student Union (ECAASU)]]. He sometimes can be spotted around campus pretending that he never graduated. He will be attending medical school beginning Fall 2010.
