Let’s get it done — one game at a time.

💙 Thanks @columbiaalumni.bsky.social for making this possible!

Wishing a meaningful fast and day of reflection to all like me who are observing Yom Kippur tonight & tomorrow. May you all be sealed in the Book of Life. גמר חתימה טובה (G'mar Chatima Tovah).

Saddened by the loss of Dr. Jane Goodall, pioneer, dreamer & voice for animals & our planet. 💚🌍

✨ “The least I can do is speak out for those who cannot speak for themselves.”

She lives on in acts of kindness & efforts to protect our shared world. 💚

Honored to join the Purchase Alumni Association Board today as President Emeritus. Excited to work w/ new Pres. Dr. Steiper—“stay positive, work hard, make it happen.” Internships shaped my path (WPLJ-FM, CBS News)—thrilled alumni can help students the same way. 💛💙

Honored to have MC'd the #SUNYDownstate 31st Annual White Coat Ceremony for the Class of 2029! Dr. Shari Andrews (COM ’10): “Your white coat gives you access, but your heart will give you impact.” Welcome to medicine—wear it with humility, humanity, and heart. 🩺💙 @goldfdtn.bsky.social

On Aug 29, 2005, Katrina devastated NOLA. In 2006, I joined #PurchaseCollege students in recovery with The #GreenProject & #RebuildingTogether. Proud of the work we did. ❤️

👉 Honor Katrina’s legacy today: serve your community or reflect on resilience. #Katrina20

Welcome to all new
@teacherscollege.bsky.social @columbiauniversity.bsky.social students to a community of thinkers, educators & changemakers! 🎓 As Dr. Ruth—fellow TC alum—taught: “A turtle can’t move forward unless it sticks its neck out.”🐢 You belong at TC. You earned it.💙

It’s been an amazing month at #SUNYDownstate! 💙 Nearly 200 Med students, 500+ in Nursing, Health Professions, Public Health & Grad Studies joined us—plus our PA #WhiteCoat Ceremony.

Grateful to my #StudentAffairs team for making #SUNYDownstate a welcoming place for all! 🙌

✨ Today I welcomed new students in the Health Professions, Nursing, & Public Health at #SUNYDownstate.
I reminded them: success in healthcare begins with caring for yourself. Mental health & wellness are foundations, not extras. #StudentSuccess #Wellness

💉❤️ Last night I gave my 73rd & 74th units with @newyorkbloodcenter.bsky.social in Brooklyn — more than 9 gallons donated since 1992.

Each pint can save up to 3 lives. Please consider donating. For someone out there, it could mean everything. (And yes…the snacks are pretty great too.)
