Barnard and Columbia Campus Maps 54 2 BRING IT BACK TO BARNARD

Hi everyone! It’s me, Shilpa. I hope you’re ready to bring your mind, your voice, and your joy back to Barnard for Reunion 2017. I certainly am. More than 1,400 alumnae will be on campus for the occasion, and I plan on greeting every single one of you. Throughout the weekend you will be cheering accomplishments, discussing important issues, and celebrating how far you have come in the years since graduation. Whether it’s your first, fiftieth, or seventieth, welcome back.

I come to Reunion every year, and each year is bigger than the last. You might notice alumnae at each event with colorful “Reunion Committee” or “Class Committee” nametags. For over a year, they have dedicated time to sculpting, for you, the perfect four days at Barnard. Join us in thanking them for harnessing the spirit and energy of Barnard and the powerful community it cultivates. While you’re at it, say hi to someone you’ve never met before! We should celebrate this dynamic community for what it is: the product of every single member.

Barnard continues to make great strides, as it always has. When you look around campus what do you see? I see innovation. I see progress. I see a tireless devotion to excellence. As you explore, we hope you experience that excellence. A weekend chock-full of activities, exhibiting the best of Barnard, has been planned for everyone to enjoy. Panels, parties, lectures, lunches, parties that are also lectures, and lunches that are also panels; whatever your passion, Barnard is ready to ignite it.

#BARNARDREUNION 3 A big shout-out to our energetic, creative, and ever- resourceful Alumnae Relations team. Cat Tramel, Jennifer Roesch, and their amazing colleagues put themselves out there for Barnard and our entire alumnae community every day, and this event wouldn’t be possible without them. If you see a colorful “Alumnae Relations” nametag, please give them a warm thank you as well.

And, of course, we must acknowledge everyone working behind the scenes, without whom there would be no Reunion. Countless faculty, staff, administrators, and students all contribute to making this weekend an extraordinary experience. Reunion is truly a reflection of the entire Barnard community coming together.

Look around. Reunion 2017 has already begun. What are you waiting for? Stop reading this letter and raise a glass! To unbreakable connections, endless curiosity, and perfect company…

Here’s to Barnard.

Shilpa Bahri ’99 Chair, AABC Reunion Committee

She was recognized for her warmth, her integrity, and her commitment to high quality programming. Legions of devoted listeners relied on the Joan Hamburg Show for cultural information, travel recommendations, dependable restaurant reviews, and even medical advice. Interviews with major celebrities and some of the most powerful political figures of the day were part of the format of the show and her work took her to other countries, including England, France, Spain, Egypt, and Korea.

She also provided useful information through numerous books and articles. While still at Barnard, she wrote New York on $5 a Day, published by Crown with Arthur Frommer, the forerunner of a series of hugely successful travel guides. Later publications included City Weddings, published by Rizzoli; The New York Lunch Book; and Our Little Black Book of Shopping Secrets. For ten years she wrote a column for Family Circle magazine.

Decades of popular broadcasting did not go unnoticed by her peers and the wider community and the awards she received demonstrate the value of her contributions to various audiences. She received a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Alliance for Women in Media Foundation and

34 the 2006 Matrix Award for Excellence in Radio Broadcasting from New York Women in Communications. She was named New Yorker of the Year by the Manhattan Chamber of Commerce in recognition of her commitment to improving the quality of lives of New Yorkers and those in surrounding areas. She was given the Daughters of the American Revolution Achievement Award and the Gabriel Award for Excellence in Broadcasting, and was named Woman of the Year by the Anti-Defamation League. In 2015 she received what many consider the ultimate Broadway accolade: her portrait was hung in Sardi’s.

NANCY KUNG WONG ’62 Award for Service to Barnard Nancy Kung Wong is a retired business executive with extensive line management experience in marketing, strategic planning, market research, advertising, and promotion. She is also a devoted Barnard alumna who brought her talent for management to alumnae service, beginning in 1972 when she chaired and edited the 10th Reunion Class Book and continuing until 2008 when she completed four years as a hard-working Alumnae Trustee. During this period she served as vice president of the Alumnae Association and took on the chairmanship of the AABC Strategic Planning sub-committee. She has also been a member of the Awards, Reunion, and Leadership Assembly committees and has led her class as its president, vice president, and fund chair. She is a member of Barnard’s Athena Society and, with her husband, has endowed three scholarships at Barnard because they believe in the importance of women’s education and providing an educational experience where women can thrive.

Before retiring from business, she was president and managing director of Wordware Ltd., a women-owned corporation which created, licensed, and marketed a line of ceramic giftware and serveware and donated 5% of pre- tax profits to charity. Previously, she was vice president

#BARNARDREUNION 35 of marketing for international and domestic businesses at Kraft General Foods where she worked for over 20 years; she received company awards for her marketing initiatives and for her leadership role in organization development and workforce diversity.

While active in business, she also pursued the equivalent of a second career in the voluntary sector. In addition to her work for Barnard, she chaired the Board of Directors of Family Service of Westchester and was on the Executive Committee of the Westchester Fund for Women and Girls and the board of Girl Scouts of Westchester-Putnam. In every case, she provided leadership that strengthened the organization in the present and built pathways to an even stronger future. Now residing in Florida, she continues to contribute her talents and energy to the sound management and strategic planning of community organizations, with current focus on areas of healthcare and the arts.

CAROL STOCK KRANOWITZ ’67 Distinguished Alumna Award During her 25-year career as a preschool teacher, Carol Stock Kranowitz observed many children with sensory processing disorder (SPD) and mild autism. She began to study their behavior in the hope of helping them develop more satisfactory methods of interaction with their peers and with family members and other adults. Determined to find new approaches, she learned to help identify the children’s needs and to help them become more competent in their work and play. She introduced the theory behind sensory processing disorder to parents, educators, and other early childhood professionals around the world through her groundbreaking book series, The Out-of-Sync Child, presenting a drug-free approach that offered hope to parents who had felt isolated and abandoned as they tried to help their children function in society. This first book in the series has sold over one million copies and has been selected by Brain, Child Magazine as one of the top

36 ten books about children with disabilities. Her most recent publication is The Out-of-Sync Child Grows Up: Coping with SPD in the Adolescent and Young Adult Years.

Carol is in constant demand as a speaker, nationally and internationally, with more than 500 sponsors, and is tireless in explaining sensory processing disorder’s effect on children’s learning and behavior and how families, teachers, therapists, and other professionals can help. She has been honored for her work with grants and awards and is widely recognized for her contributions to increased public awareness and understanding of SPD. She is a board member of the STAR Institute for Sensory Processing Disorder and received their Champion of Inspiration award. In addition to the Out-of-Sync Child books, she has written and edited several manuals and newsletters. In addition to celebrating the 50th anniversary of her graduation from Barnard, she is a speaker on the program for Reunion 2017.

SESAE FELICITY MPUCHANE ’72 Woman of Achievement Award Professor Sesae Felicity Mpuchane was born in Africa and she has lived there since receiving her Barnard degree and graduate degrees in microbiology from Ohio University and the University of Surrey (UK). Her contributions to higher education in Botswana have been critical to the nation’s development and she is one of its most respected academics. She has also provided strong leadership in the effort to expand opportunities for women and girls in science.

Although her initial intention was to become a doctor, the teaching she experienced in America caused a shift in her emphasis and she decided that her role in medicine would be as a teacher. In 1974 she joined the University of Botswana (UB) Department of Biological Sciences, then in its infancy; she played a key role in its development and, later, in its upgrading to a graduate level program. In addition to

#BARNARDREUNION 37 her teaching, she pursued research in food microbiology and safety, subjects of particular concern to the people in that region. By the time she retired in 2009, with the rank of full professor, she had served as head of the department and dean of the Faculty of Science. She had also chaired the task force that brought into being the Botswana International University of Science & Technology, which she served as founding executive chairman for two years. She has chaired or been a member of countless committees, councils, working groups, boards, and commissions within the university and in various agencies of government. Among her many official posts, she was appointed to be founding chair of the Botswana Bureau of Standards.

A staunch supporter of science education for women and girls, she was the coordinator of the UB Women in Science project that encouraged girls to pursue science careers and she organized clinics to mentor and teach girls from all over the country. She has also been chairperson of the Ghana- based African Women’s Development Fund. In 2005, the US Embassy awarded her the Botswana Vanguard Women Leaders award and in 2016 she was named a fellow in the newly established Botswana Academy of Science.

JAN L. VINOKOUR ’72 Award for Service to Barnard Jan L. Vinokour holds a BA in Political Science, concentrating in Soviet Studies, and a JD from the University of California, Berkeley. Now retired, she has enjoyed a long career as an attorney and as US general counsel at British Telecom Inc., while also providing invaluable service to her alma mater. During her years as a Barnard student, Jan was vice president of her class and a member of the McIntosh Activities Council (McAc), and she is happily remembered for introducing Ice Cream Nights when she was president of McAc.

38 Her service to the College as an alumna spans several decades, including fifteen years as class president and active membership of several standing committees of the Alumnae Association. She served on the AABC Board of Directors during her year as chair of the Nominating Committee. Of particular note, Jan was a founding member of Project Continuum, Barnard’s innovative effort to renew and strengthen ties between the College and women who have been alumnae for thirty or more years. She served as chair of the Events Committee of Project Continuum for three years, planning museum tours, gallery visits, history walks, trips to the theater and the Philharmonic, and other activities which created the foundation for the continued success of the group. Members knew her for her thoughtful suggestions of ways to serve the interests and needs of their target audience.

A faithful and insightful supporter of the College, Jan established the Jan Vinokour Internship Fund, which for the past ten years has provided stipends to Barnard students which enable them to take unpaid internships and thus gain valuable experience. The fund supports 2-3 students each semester in various fields including publishing, public relations, scientific and medical research, and nonprofit organizations. She also encourages and inspires classmates and peers to give back by participating every year in the Annual Fund Phonathon. Jan met her husband (MBA Columbia) while at Barnard. They have been together for 43 years.

MARY ANN LOFRUMENTO ’77 Award for Service to Barnard Dr. Mary Ann LoFrumento has achieved excellence in a multi-faceted career as a pediatrician, filmmaker, and educator, and as a volunteer in the field of global health. At the same time she has been tireless in her support for Barnard. While an undergraduate she was active as a student leader, leading up to the presidency of student government.

#BARNARDREUNION 39 As an alumna she served her class as president for several terms and was also vice president and class correspondent. She joined the Leadership Assembly Committee of the Alumnae Association, served as AABC vice president and president, and from 2011 to 2015 she was an alumnae trustee. She also mentors Barnard students and alumnae who are considering medical school. In addition, her service has followed some less conventional pathways: sharp- eyed members of the audience at alumnae gatherings have noticed her name as producer of the videos which have enhanced reports of many special events.

Professionally, she has been a pediatrician in private practice, authored two books, and produced a series of videos for new parents, called Simply Parenting. She is a pediatric hospitalist and associate program director for the Pediatric Residency at the Goryeb Children’s Hospital in Morristown, New Jersey. She is also an assistant clinical professor of pediatrics at Thomas Jefferson University and medical director of the Newborn Nursery at Morristown Medical Center. She is director of the Child Global Health Program for Atlantic Health, introducing medical students and residents to the challenges of delivering health care to children in developing countries. She is a coordinator for the Breaking Bad News compassionate communication program, an initiative she helped to create that has become a national model for communication training.

In 2010, after a life-changing medical mission to Haiti following the devastating earthquake, she co-founded Hands Up for Haiti, an organization committed to improving the quality and sustainability of healthcare in northern Haiti. She is president of the organization and coordinator of the Global Health Education Program. In the words of a classmate, “she embodies the truism that those who do the most, give the most, and she does it all with professionalism, warmth, and grace.”

40 ARUNA RAO ’77 Millicent Carey McIntosh Award for Feminism Dr. Aruna Rao is a leading international expert on gender equality, development, and human rights who has introduced or strengthened the theories and practices of feminism in all corners of the world. Over 30 years of experience, particularly in Asia and Africa, she has combined advocacy and cutting-edge research on gender equality and institutional change with leadership and management to produce better results for women and men. She has worked at multiple levels, from global level initiatives to research on human rights and public sector reform, from implementing gender equality policies and practices in the private sector to grassroots engagements with rural poor women.

She is the co-founder and executive director of Gender at Work, a transnational feminist network committed to ending discrimination against women in the workplace and advancing cultures of equality. This often requires transforming social norms and upending entrenched historic structures that hold gender inequality in place, challenges she has never failed to meet. She has applied her strong analytical and program skills across different sectors such as rural development, finance and banking, and education. She has chaired the boards of the Association of Women’s Rights in Development and CIVICUS: World Alliance for Citizen Participation, and been advisor and consultant to a multitude of international organizations, including the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, the Global Fund for Women, UNIFEM, Oxfam, and the World Bank and various bilateral agencies. She also gained practical experience as head of a major gender program in Bangladesh. Recently she has focused on building the capacities of young professional women through courses and workshops on feminist leadership. She co-developed and taught a course for UN Women on transformational leadership for gender equality and an intensive master’s level course, Doing Gender— Approaches and Tools for the Work, at the University of

#BARNARDREUNION 41 Sussex (UK). She is in enormous demand as a speaker at global conferences on the status of women, gender relations, and organizational change. She has also written extensively on gender equality and institutional change, governance, civil service reform, gender mainstreaming, and social inclusion. Among her publications are Gender at Work: Theory and Practice for 21st Century Organizations, Gender Analysis and Development Planning, and Women’s Studies International: Nairobi and Beyond.

CINDY SIMILIEN-JOHNSON ’07 Young Alumna Award Cindy Similien-Johnson is guided by the principle: “Live to love; work to improve the lives of others; and create a legacy.” In her own work, this takes the form of love of writing, empowerment of women, and promotion of Haitian culture. She is the author of several books, including How to Stay Motivated: Inspiration and Advice for Everyday Living; Goal Chic: Changing the World, One Goal at a Time; and Let’s Speak Haitian Food: Stories from the Haitian Diaspora on Cuisine, Community, and Culture. She founded CSJ Media Publishing to inspire, encourage, and empower through the written word. She is also a columnist for the Haitian Times.

With several years of experience in the nonprofit sector, she founded Goal Chic, an initiative whose mission is to educate, engage, and empower women and girls in her community and equip them with the tools they need to succeed in their careers, personal finances, health and wellness, and relationships. It began as a blog to showcase women who overcame obstacles to achieve success but grew to include workshops, conferences, mentorship programs, and strategic partnerships with local institutions and resources. In 2016, she was invited as a change-maker to the first United State of Women Summit convened by First Lady Michelle Obama and the White House.

42 To stay connected to her Haitian roots, she founded Cook Like a Haitian, a company whose mission is to introduce Haiti’s cuisine, community, and culture to the world through cookbooks and cooking classes. A portion of all sales is donated to organizations which improve the lives of people of Haitian descent. As a board member of the United Nations Association-Brooklyn Chapter, she draws attention to global issues such as climate change, gender inequality, and child hunger.

Only ten years after graduating from Barnard, she is admired for her vision and dedication to Brooklyn and is widely recognized for her tireless efforts as a community organizer, author, and cultural ambassador. Her awards include the Star Network’s 40 Stars Under Forty; PowerUP! KREYOL Business Competition Winner; the Caribbean-American Heritage Celebration Economic Development Award, presented by the borough president of Brooklyn; and the Caribbean Life Impact Award.

ALUMNAE ASSOCIATION FELLOWSHIP FOR GRADUATE STUDY RECIPIENTS

CAROLINE GLEASON ’12 Caroline is a second year PhD candidate in cancer biology at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. Her thesis focuses on cellular senescence, a state where cells are alive but permanently growth arrested. In cancer therapy, senescence is a desirable means of halting tumor progression. However, senescent cells are also found in aging organs, where they may contribute to degenerative diseases. Caroline is working to understand what regulates a cell’s decision to become senescent. This information can be used to identify drugs that push cancer cells into senescence or prevent aging cells from entering

#BARNARDREUNION 43 senescence, thus extending health span and improving quality of life for the elderly.

Outside of the lab, Caroline is involved in science outreach, both mentoring young scientists and working to encourage scientific knowledge among the general public. In addition to her academic research, she hopes to increase accessibility to scientific information and improve scientific literacy, helping people make informed decisions about their health and the environment.

SARAH LEVINE ’14 Sarah is an incoming JD candidate at Yale Law School.

As an empirical research fellow at Stanford Law School, Sarah has spent the last two years combining machine learning, statistics, and policy analysis to evaluate workers’ rights in high-hazard industries. Recently, as part of a small research team led by Professor Alison Morantz, she developed algorithms to predict injuries in underground coalmines based on patterns of violations.

In her spare time since graduating from Bernard, Sarah has built tools that generate open data for communities with limited technological resources. In one instance, she built a program to generate building footprints from satellite imagery, which she used to create an open-source 3D map of every building in her hometown, Jersey City, New Jersey. She has also collaborated with researchers at the Brown Institute for Media Innovation to create a crowd-sourced map of worldwide coral reef conditions.

44 As a law student, she is eager to continue her work at the intersection of policy and technology to find practical solutions to social problems.

GABRIELLE BORENSTEIN ’15 Gabrielle is a second year PhD student in Anthropology at Cornell University. Her research explores how the material world influences social, political, and economic life. Her dissertation examines this in the context of Bronze Age communities in the ancient Near East. She draws upon archaeological data acquired through her excavations in Armenia as well as from collections in Georgia and Turkey to investigate the logics of an egalitarian culture contemporaneous with the emergence hierarchy in Mesopotamia. Using a range of quantitative methods, her work addresses qualitative questions about what it meant to be human 5,000 years ago.

An integral part of Gabrielle’s work in Armenia relates to the country’s ancient heritage, as well as contemporary issues and future matters of cultural preservation. The Aragats Foundation has allowed her to get involved with local communities. Last summer, she helped establish an archaeology camp for teenage girls, where she showed them that they are capable of doing what is culturally considered men’s work. She hopes to cultivate a better understanding of the struggle for social equality and with support from the AABC fellowship, she will continue to use archaeology as a means of learning from the past and taking ownership of the present.

RACHEL SUSSER ’15 Rachel is pursuing a MMus in Flute performance at the Royal Academy of Music in London. In addition to developing her skills as a performer, her current research explores the use of alternative performance practices as a means to subvert

#BARNARDREUNION 45 the racial, colonial, class, gender, and other hierarchies perpetuated by classical music discourse. Later this year, she will direct two cross-disciplinary performance pieces that experiment with space, audience interaction, bodily involvement, and audiovisual technology in an attempt to pose questions about power and music in the contemporary world.

At Barnard, Rachel majored in computer science and music technology while studying flute via the lesson exchange with Manhattan School of Music. She was also a Centennial Scholar, and based her project for this program around traditional Andean music in Peru. She was the principal flutist of the New York Youth Symphony and performed in premiers of new music at the Guggenheim Museum and in Carnegie Hall. After her undergraduate studies, Rachel received a Fulbright grant to study folk music and traditional flutes in Bulgaria and Romania.

JOSEPHINE MCGOWAN ’16 Josephine is a PhD student in the Neurobiology & Behavior program at Columbia University. Her research focuses on the underlying biological basis of stress resilience. Over the past three years, her research has demonstrated the potential to administer pharmaceuticals before stress in a vaccine-like fashion to prevent stress-induced psychiatric disorders.

For her doctoral thesis research in Dr. Christine Ann Denny’s laboratory, Josephine plans to elucidate mechanisms in the brain that are critical for stress resilience, and develop novel prophylactics for mental illness. She is also part of a team of medicinal chemists, basic scientists, clinicians, and commercialization experts seeking to gain funding to start a company premised on the concept of preventing psychiatric disease.

46 As a first generation college student of a Hispanic background, Josephine also plans to engage in outreach through writing and empowering women and minorities to be leaders. Especially in light of rising skepticism of and potential budget cuts for scientific fields, she aims to advocate for the importance of supporting research, and inspire underprivileged youth to aspire for careers in science.
