Running For: VP Student and Faculty Liason


Campaign Statement

I would welcome an opportunity to work on behalf of the Cooper Union Alumni Association in the capacity of Student/Faculty liaison and believe my experience as both a teacher and an administrator in higher education would help facilitate the dialogue between all concerned with the goal of helping to create an initiative of sustained collaboration and transparency. I believe it is paramount that students, faculty, and administration all have an opportunity to express their concerns and have a voice in a partnership of shared governance..
