WHAT I DO I’m a leader and a manager,
supporting the best possible life for the frail elders of New York City and providing support to their caregivers. I AM MOST PROUD OF Changing the
culture of nursing homes to be more person-centered, changing the relationship with organized labor to be one of collaboration, and partnering with our boards of directors in a real and meaningful way. I LOVE MY JOB BECAUSE What I do
each day matters to so many people. CAREER ADVICE Earn a doctorate
degree and publish and speak at professional meetings.
WHAT I DO I oversee finance and accounting
for Live Nation, the world’s largest live music entertainment company, in the Northeast— from Philadelphia to Boston.
I AM MOST PROUD OF My longevity with and ability to grow within my company. I started as an intern 10 years ago. I LOVE MY JOB BECAUSE Every day is new, we work in rock and roll, and there are tremendous people here. CAREER ADVICE Work every avenue of
opportunity. Always network. Always show you’re hungry to move ahead or succeed, and always put the best effort in. I VOLUNTEER FOR C.O.A.C.H. BECAUSE
I think Adelphi is a tremendous school. My mother followed me and got her undergraduate and graduate degrees at Adelphi because I raved about it so much. I got my internship through Adelphi, so I just felt like I owed something back.
Dr. William Fishkind ’68 Director, Fishkind, Bakewell, Maltzman Eye Care and Surgical Center, Tucson, Arizona; Clinical Professor of Ophthalmology, The University of Utah; and Clinical Instructor of Ophthalmology, The University of Arizona WHAT I DO I am a clinical ophthalmologist with a specialty in cataract and refractive surgery. I am a teacher who teaches colleagues, medical students, and residents. I AM MOST PROUD OF Working with a small cadre of surgeons and teachers in the late ’80s to mid ’90s to introduce an improved and safer method of cataract surgery, called phacoemulsification, now used by 98 percent of surgeons. When I started, only two percent of surgeons used it. CAREER ADVICE Behave toward your patients (as well as friends and family) as you would want them to behave with regard to you—with intelligence, dignity, and sympathy. I VOLUNTEER FOR C.O.A.C.H. BECAUSE
Adelphi was the spark that ignited my desire to excel, my desire for success, and my desire to search for personal growth and strength. By Bonnie Eissner
