What draws me into the City?
- I am fascinated by the literature that speaks of the urban renaissance, led by those who speak of it as a green alternative to the suburban culture of the 20th Century.(Bibliography coming soon!)
- The fact is, all the city walking that I do is ten times better for me than the suburban driving I do over the weekend. When I applied for this job I was specifically looking for a position that would be "car light." I don't have time to go to the gym, so I give myself credit for a walking and riding commute.
- I am drawn in where I am most needed. I believe deeply in the mission of the City University of New York. I have spent my entire career working in publicly financed higher education.
