ALUMNI NEWS
Regional Alumni Clubs Connect Cardozo Alumni Around the Country Cardozo Law alumni clubs are growing rapidly around the country. Alumni have enjoyed recent receptions in Washington D.C., Boston, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Florida, Long Island, New Jersey and Chicago. Regional meetings help foster a sense of community that is uniquely Cardozo, and create contact between admitted students, parents and alumni. They also provide an opportunity to meet Cardozo alums in your community, and they convey the vitality of our community to newcomers. Thank you to Mark Levinson ’81, partner at Greenberg Traurig LLP, for hosting the Los Angeles reception and to Monica Borochoff ’96, chair of the Los Angeles Alumni Club. Also a big thank you to Neil Koren ’81, partner at Shartsis Friese LLP for providing San Francisco offices and to Muriel Kaplan ’80, who heads up Cardozo by the Bay.
