First round interview doubts

I recently got confirmation that I made it to the first round interview, for a summer intern role at a VC firm. I currently know 1 of the senior associates at the firm (met him during an event my school hosted). I was wondering if I should reach out to him? and if yes, what should I tell him?

ps. sorry if this is a dumb question, first time doing all of this
