Reflecting on my 32-year journey as the Financial Aid Director at CUNY Law, I've come to realize that this wasn't just a career; it was my purpose. What made these years truly remarkable was the people - the students, faculty, and staff - who make up the CUNY Law community. We're united by our dedication to justice and the transformative power of education. CUNY Law isn't just a law school; it's a sanctuary for those passionate about public service and social justice. Here, we don't just talk about changing the world; we actively pursue it every day. I consider myself incredibly fortunate to have been a part of this journey, and I look forward to the future with excitement and enthusiasm. Working at CUNY Law has been more than a job; it's been my calling, my passion, and my honor.

After assisting Dean Kristin Booth Glen and Admissions Director Bill Perez turn back a years-long post-Hopwood legal challenge to CUNY Law's admissions policy ("CUNY School of Law Policy Is Ruled Not Discriminatory - Admission Rules Promote Diversity Without Prejudice to Whites," the New York Law Journal's front-page reported), it was thrilling to be with CUNY Law students who joined thousands of students from around the country to rally on the steps of the U.S. Supreme Court on the morning of oral arguments in Gutter v. Bolinger. Our invigorated, but chilled-to-the-bone students, got a warm glow when they met Senator Edward Kennedy in the Supreme Court cafeteria, where I had taken them for breakfast after the rally.
