ALUMNI NEWS & notes
Reunions Foster Alumni Connections Friends and former classmates came together for their reunions on May 22. Graduates from celebrating classes—1983, 1988, 1993, 1998, 2003, 2008—met at the Harmonie Club for an evening of cheers and laughter. Alumni were seen smiling as they viewed their yearbooks and compared stories. The evening was a reminder of shared experiences, triumphs and achievements. A second reunion event, a brunch with Dean Matthew Diller, was held at the law school the following day. Dean Diller discussed faculty developments and research as well as projects the school’s various clinics worked on this year. Alumni had an opportunity to chat with faculty and tour the school, which for some looks very different than the last time they visited. Next May, Cardozo will celebrate its first 35th Reunion, along with all classes ending in 4 or 9. If you would like to join your class committee and be a part of the planning, please contact CardozoAlumni@yu.edu.
Ellen Friedland and Eric Cohen ’83 enjoy their reunion.
Marina Moraru and Csilla Boga ’08 reconnect.
The class of ’88 enjoyed the evening.
