Trustees of Hofstra University...... Inside Back Cover Table of Contents History of Hofstra

n 1912 William Hofstra had booked passage on the Titanic for his return voyage from Europe. However, a Alma Mater...... Inside Front Cover business proposition in Canada forced him to change his plans. Instead he took a ship to Halifax, and the Ievents of his personal history took their rightful course. Information reported in the newspapers of the times History of Hofstra...... 3 allows us to look back at the history of the Hofstras and view their lives in a more personal and intimate light.

The Hofstras enjoyed a lifestyle filled with social engagements, travel and business ventures. The society pages Commencement Notes...... 7 and gossip columns of the local papers such as the Hempstead Sentinel as well as papers such as The New York Times reported on these events on a continuous basis. From 1894 through the 1930s, both Mr. and Mrs. Hofstra appeared Academic Honors...... 10 in print for participation in charity events, departures for vacations, hosting wedding receptions at their estate, and attendance at various recreational activities. Honorary Degree Recipients...... 11 The earliest report of the Hofstras abroad is 1894, when William and Kate Hofstra departed for Liverpool on the Presidential Medal Recipient...... 13 ship Majestic. In 1902 a New York Times reporter in Paris reported that “American visitors in Paris are preparing to return in September,” and included the Hofstras among those who had been to Carlsbad, and were headed for the Graduate Commencement...... 14 Hotel Ritz. Also in 1902, an article described the Meadow Brook’s races, and how the “society” set had attended the steeplechase and pony contests. Included among the notables were August Belmont, the Harrimans, a Whitney or two, Latin Honors Recognition Convocation...... 18 and Mr. and Mrs. Hofstra. As Mrs. Hofstra was a notable equestrienne, it is possible she was among those who “followed the contestants in the longer races on horseback.” Baccalaureate Commencement...... 21 By 1903 the Hofstras had purchased a 15-acre parcel of land in Hempstead. The land was in the School of Law Commencement...... 25 vicinity of such estates as those owned by Edwin Morgan, August Belmont, Mrs. Jane Kernochan, O.W. Bird, and others. Mr. Howard Brower, William Hofstra’s business partner, called the homesite “a hayfield with a small house.” Latin Honors Recipients and Candidates...... 28 A year earlier, William had purchased the J.K. Van Wranken estate for $12,000 in order to run the Nassau Lumber Company. The Hofstras decided to build a home on their land and hired architects H. Craig Severance and Wellington Baccalaureate Degrees...... 34 Ward. Severance was both a noted architect and promoter of buildings. He was only 25 when he and Wellington Ward designed the Hofstra home, which later became known as “The Netherlands,” recognizing William’s Dutch ancestry. Graduate Degrees...... 41 During the early 1900s and the Progressive era, women who were socialites looked for “good works,” or projects Outstanding Senior Scholars...... 48 that contributed to the social good. Mrs. Minnie Maddern Fiske, who was a stage actress known as the “First Lady of the American Stage,” was also internationally recognized for her work to prevent cruelty to animals. Mrs. Fiske Baccalaureate Degrees With Distinction...... 48 gave a special performance in New York to help establish the Bide-A-Wee Home for Animals. Kate Hofstra was present at the performance and became the first vice president of this organization. For more than 30 years, ­­­Mrs. Hofstra continued her association with Bide-A-Wee, as she raised countless funds for the organization. She also Master’s Degrees With Distinction...... 49 left Bide-A-Wee a sizable sum in her will.

University Honors...... 51 Mr. Hofstra’s business dealings were often mentioned in the news. In a business dissolution notice of 1913, he is noted as being president of Sea Coast Lumber Company, which had incorporated in 1904 in Hempstead. Departmental Honors...... 52 Mr. Hofstra is also noted as being a director of the Diamond Head Match Company, as well as a director of Price Brothers, a Canadian manufacturer of lumber, building supplies and pulp paper. According to a descendant of Trustees of Hofstra University...... Inside Back Cover Sir William Price, the founder of the company, Mr. Hofstra was the largest shareholder of Price Brothers stock outside of family members.

William Hofstra continued to serve as the New York director of the Price Brothers firm, and he had offices in midtown New York. The Hofstras attended many events in New York and stayed at the Ritz or other upscale New York hotels for periods of time.

3 When Mr. Hofstra died in 1932, he left his estate in his wife’s hands. When she died just over a year later, she made a variety of small gifts to charities and friends, but left the bulk of the property and estate to be used for charitable, scientific or humanitarian purposes, and named it in honor of William. It was up to two friends, Mr. Howard Brower and Mr. James Barnard, to decide what to do with the estate. Another Hempstead resident, Truesdel Peck Calkins, remarked to Mr. Brower that he had been looking for a site to start an institution of higher education, and the three men agreed it would be an appropriate use of the estate. Mr. Calkins approached the administration at New York University, and they were extremely interested. Initially called Nassau College – Hofstra Memorial of New York University, the college was founded as a coeducational, commuter institution with day and evening classes.

The first day of classes was September 23, 1935, and the first class of students was made up of 159 day and 621 evening students. Tuition for the entire year was $375. The college obtained a provisional charter, and its official name was changed to Hofstra College on January 16, 1937. Hofstra College separated from New York University in 1939 and was granted an absolute charter on February 16, 1940.

Hofstra’s seal was created by Professor of Art Constant van de Wall in 1937. The insignia was derived from the official seal of the House of Orange of the Netherlands and is used with the permission of the Crown. At the bottom of the seal are the words, “Je Maintiendray,” meaning “I stand steadfast” in Old French. By 1938 the alma mater was written by Hans J. Gottlieb, an instructor of English.

In 1939 Hofstra had its first four-year commencement, graduating a class of 83 students. The earliest graduates had strong feelings for the new institution, and although they were allowed to choose whether they would receive degrees from New York University or Hofstra, they overwhelmingly chose Hofstra degrees. Academic recognition of Hofstra was affirmed when the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools accepted Hofstra for membership on November 22, 1940. Early in 1941 the college was elected to membership in the American Association of Colleges.

With the advent of World War II, major changes occurred on campus. The armed services and war industries on Long Island brought about a major decline in the size of the student body, and varsity sports were suspended for this period as well. When the war ended, record enrollments returned, thanks to the returning GIs and the GI Bill. In 1945 and 1946 intercollegiate sports resumed, and wrestling was introduced as a new sport in 1946, giving Hofstra its first undefeated team. In 1950 Calkins Gymnasium was the site of the first Shakespeare Festival. It was performed on a five-sixths-sized replica of the Globe Theatre.

With the approval of the New York State Board of Regents, Hofstra became Long Island’s first private university on March 1, 1963. Also in that year, the Board of Trustees passed a resolution that launched the effort to make Hofstra architecturally barrier-free for individuals with physical disabilities, stating that all students should have access to higher education. Although this later became federal law, Hofstra was recognized as a pioneer in this regard. Other forward-thinking programs and events followed, including the New Opportunities at Hofstra (NOAH) program, which was established the following year. NOAH is Hofstra’s Arthur O. Eve Higher Education Opportunity Program.

In 1963 Mitchel Air Force Base was closed by the military and was declared surplus property. The University asked for acreage to be used for educational purposes and was eventually granted 110 acres. Construction soon began on the North Campus, which included Hofstra’s first residence halls. Two towers were completed in 1966, two more in 1967, and by 1968 there were six towers, a Student Center, and a span across the Turnpike, which fed into an award-winning library building. The University reorganized its divisions into “schools” in the 1960s, with the School of Education being formed in 1964, and the Schools of Business and Continuing Education in 1965. Hofstra was authorized by the Board of Regents to offer its first doctoral degrees in 1966. In 1968 the Hofstra stadium added the first outdoor installation of Astroturf in the East, and the New York Jets became affiliated with the University, as the North Campus became home to the New York Jets’ summer training center for the next 40 years, until the team moved to its new complex in New Jersey.

4 Although the late 1960s and early 1970s were a period of student unrest, Hofstra was spared much of the violence that occurred at other educational institutions. Matters were settled peacefully here, and as a result, changes were made in both academic programming and in student life.

By 1970 Hofstra established the School of Law, and the first class was admitted in September of that year. In 1973 a Phi Beta Kappa charter was granted to Hofstra. During the recession of the 1970s, and because of declining enrollments, Hofstra was forced to respond by cutting back its staff. As a result, administrative changes took place, and the first imperative was to re-establish a balanced budget. The turnaround in enrollment came in fall 1976 and included students from a great diversity of geographic, economic and ethnic backgrounds. Hofstra was well on its way to becoming more of a nationally and internationally recognized educational institution. In 1981 Hofstra was publicly acclaimed as the first private university in the United States to achieve the goal of making all of the University’s programs and activities architecturally barrier-free, and in 1984 the University hosted the International Games for the Disabled. What had begun as a resolution adopted by the Board of Trustees in 1963, became part of campus life, as each new building was and is designed to accommodate those with physical disabilities.

By the 1980s, the University hosted more than 500 cultural events annually, including art shows, film festivals, seminars, concerts, drama and dance programs, and both national and international conferences. One of the most successful and prestigious events has been the Hofstra Cultural Center’s Presidential Conference series, which began with an examination of the administrations of U.S. presidents since Hofstra’s founding. Presidents who have visited the campus include Dwight D. Eisenhower, Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter, George H. Bush, William Jefferson Clinton, and Barack Obama, either for these conferences, or for honors or campaign visits.

Hofstra University has consistently provided students with state-of-the-art facilities, whether it was for studying broadcast journalism or participating in intercollegiate sports. The Television Institute was established in the spring of 1986; James M. Shuart Stadium was the first outdoor stadium in the country to receive Balsam Turf in 1988; and Breslin Hall, a building dedicated to classrooms, was completed in 1990. By 1993 a bird sanctuary was created on the North Campus, while outdoor sculpture was placed in select areas on both the North and South Campuses. In the 1990s Hofstra continued to update its curriculum and add courses for its students, including the establishment of the School of Communication in 1995 and the School for University Studies in 1996.

In 2005 the School of Communication celebrated its 10th year as a college at Hofstra University, while Hofstra University Honors College celebrated the graduation of its first class. The highlight of 2005, which included the involvement of all areas of the University, was the 11th presidential conference, William Jefferson Clinton: The “New Democrat” From Hope. In a fascinating 80-minute speech, President Clinton himself offered a critique of his administration and record before an audience of nearly 5,000 students, scholars and Hofstra community members.

The 2006-2007 academic year included many landmark events and programs. The year began with a symposium that explored how the tragic events of September 11, 2001, have forever changed our world, as well as a series of lectures and concerts celebrating the 250th anniversary of the birth of Mozart. Hofstra’s Center for Civic Engagement launched a variety of inaugural events geared toward encouraging students to be aware and active citizens. There were faculty installation ceremonies for the newly created Kalikow Chair in Presidential Studies and the Monsignor Thomas J. Hartman Chair in Catholic Studies.

In November 2007 the Commission on Presidential Debates announced the selection of Hofstra as the site of the third and final presidential debate. Hofstra’s was the first presidential debate to take place at a New York college. That announcement precipitated 11 busy months of preparations as well as the launch of an innovative program titled Educate ’08, which brought to campus a variety of high-profile speakers to discuss various political issues. The subsequent debate between then Senator Barack Obama and Senator John McCain on October 15, 2008, put Hofstra on the global stage. The advent of the debate brought thousands of guests to campus, including more than 3,000 members of the media. 5 In October 2007 Hofstra President Stuart Rabinowitz announced plans to open a medical school on the Hofstra campus in partnership with North Shore-LIJ Health System. The proposed School of Medicine took a major step forward in March 2008 when the joint agreement was finalized between Hofstra and North Shore-LIJ and the appointment of a dean, Lawrence G. Smith, M.D., was announced.

In March 2008 President Rabinowitz announced that his Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama, Tenzin Gyatso, was the first recipient of Hofstra’s international Guru Nanak Interfaith Prize. The prize, which recognizes efforts to facilitate interfaith dialogue, was established through an endowment from the family of Ishar Singh Bindra.

Other newsworthy events included the expansion of Hofstra’s Center for Suburban Studies into The National Center for Suburban Studies at Hofstra University®; the launch of the Wilbur F. Breslin Center for Real Estate Studies; the opening of NewsHub, a state-of-the-art converged newsroom and multimedia classroom; the 60th anniversary of the Hofstra Shakespeare Festival; and the faculty installation of the Sardani Kuljit Kaur Bindra Chair in Sikh Studies.

The start of 2009 saw the launch of Define ’09: New Challenges, New Solutions, a yearlong series of politically and socially engaging programs. this series hosted high-profile guests, including CNN’s Anderson Cooper, who also hosted his show from the Hofstra campus on March 19.

On June 25, 2009, the Middle States Commission on Higher Education acted to reaffirm Hofstra’s accreditation and to expressly “commend the institution for progress to date and for the quality of the self-study process.” This very complimentary report acknowledged the hard work that the entire community invested in the self-study, as well as the commitment and dedication of the community to ensuring that Hofstra continues to enhance the excellent educational experience it provides to students.

In addition to the Middle States reaccreditation, the University successfully obtained seven reaccreditations in 2009: AACSB International – The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business accreditation for the Zarb School of Business as well as the Department of Accounting, Taxation and Legal Studies in Business; ABA accreditation for the School of Law; ARC-PA accreditation for the Physician Assistant Studies Program; accreditations for the Hofstra University Museum and Diane Lindner-Goldberg Child Care Institute; and TEAC (Teacher Education Accreditation Council) accreditation for the School of Education, Health and Human Services. The University also successfully received NCAA recertification.

In 2010 Hofstra University enjoyed continued success and dynamic accomplishments. The Hofstra North Shore- LIJ School of Medicine at Hofstra University, which will admit its inaugural class in fall 2011, received preliminary accreditation from the Liaison Committee on Medical Education (LCME) in June 2010. On September 23, 2010, Hofstra began a yearlong celebration of its 75th anniversary – 75 years of academic excellence, growth, community, service, scholarship, success, and, most especially, Hofstra Pride and Purpose. Hofstra University kicked off its diamond celebration with exciting events, including the 75th Anniversary Convocation, Hofstra’s birthday party, a museum exhibition, family reception, comedy show featuring Jimmy Fallon, fireworks spectacular, Diamond Reception, and a Live at 75 Festival.

When Hofstra’s doors opened on September 23, 1935, 19 faculty in four programs of study taught a few hundred students in one building, Hofstra Hall. Few would have predicted Hofstra’s tremendous growth over the past 75 years. Today, more than 12,000 students – with nearly 300 undergraduate and graduate program options from which to choose – learn from more than 500 full-time faculty on our 240-acre campus. Our faculty are leading scholars in their disciplines, and our more than 119,000 alumni are experiencing great success in their chosen careers.

Just as commencement is the celebration of continued academic and professional growth for our students, Hofstra University continues to grow and evolve to meet the needs of a new generation of students.

6 Commencement Notes THE FLAG The Hofstra flag, bearing the seal of the University, was presented to Hofstra on April 19, 1940, by Dr. Alexander Loudon, envoy extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary, in the name of Her Majesty, Wilhelmina, queen of the Netherlands. The seal is derived from the coat of arms of the House of Orange-Nassau. The motto, “Je maintiendray,” means “I stand steadfast.”

THE CEREMONIAL MACE The ceremonial mace, carried by the grand marshals in the academic procession, was given to Hofstra by Halsted Billings Vander Poel, son of former Trustee W. Halsted Vander Poel.

The mace is made of silver with a shaft of ebony. Its design is based upon one of the oldest maces of Yale University, dating from the time of Queen Anne. Engraved upon the head is the Hofstra seal. Around the upper portion of the haft appears the quotation from the Book of Proverbs: “The hearing ear, and the seeing eye, the Lord hath made even both of them.”

The history of the mace in ceremonies begins in the 13th century when ceremonial maces were borne by the sergeant at arms, a royal bodyguard established in France by Phillip II and in England by Richard I. When used in our Commencement Exercises, its presence symbolizes the authority by which commencement is held and under which degrees are granted.

THE GONFALONS Of the 10 gonfalons, five of the fishtail ensigns plus the Hofstra seal were first presented in University ceremonies during the dedication of the Hofstra Library in 1967. The gonfalon for the School of Law was added in 1970, followed by the University Libraries’ gonfalon in 1993, the School of Communication gonfalon in 1996, the School for University Studies’ gonfalon in 1997, the Honors College gonfalon in 2001, and the School of Medicine’s gonfalon in 2009. The history of the ceremonial use of gonfalons seems lost in antiquity. Probably best remembered is their appearance at the head of the parades of the Crusades where they presented the coats of arms of legion commanders. The gonfalons of Hofstra carry the seals of the colleges and schools of the University.

The seal of Hofstra is worked in threads of gold, silver, red, blue and green against a background of white silk, derived from the great seal of the House of Orange-Nassau, and is at the center of the stage. (See note under “The Flag.”)

The gonfalons are displayed from left to right.

The gonfalon of Hofstra College of Liberal Arts and Sciences carries the seal of the province of Friesland, the original home of the Hofstra family. The fishtail below the seal has the colors of Hofstra, blue and gold, at the left and right, and the colors of the college, white for arts and gold for sciences, through the center.

The School of Education, Health and Human Services’ gonfalon carries the seal of the province of Groningen. The colors of Hofstra trim the gonfalon, while the light blue of education is the center color.

The gonfalon of the Frank G. Zarb School of Business carries the seal of the province of Gelderland. The University blue and gold trim the gonfalon, with the traditional “drab” filling the center stripe of the fishtail.

7 The gonfalon of Hofstra University School of Law carries the seal of Noord Brabant province, is trimmed in the University colors, and carries a band of purple through the center to indicate law.

The gonfalon of the School of Communication carries the seal of the province of Arnhem. The University blue and gold trim the panel of lavender and deep purple with a center panel of white representing the arts.

The gonfalon of Hofstra University Honors College adapts the seal of the Frisian town of Tytsjerksteradiel. The gonfalon design uses the University colors in a traditional woven heraldic pattern representing the interrelationship of disciplines in Honors College.

The Hofstra University Libraries’ gonfalon carries the seal of the province of Rotterdam. University colors trim the gonfalon. The center area carries the colors of all the colleges and schools and is overlaid with a band of lemon yellow, representing the discipline of library science.

The gonfalon of Hofstra University Continuing Education carries the seal of Limburg province. University colors trim the gonfalon, and the center area carries the colors of all the colleges and schools.

The seal on the gonfalon for the School for University Studies comes from the Dutch municipality of Apeldoorn in the province of Gelderland. The white center symbolizes the arts and letters. The adjacent strips of gold and blue represent the colors of Hofstra University, and the border of red and blue is reminiscent of the colors of the flag of the modern state of the Netherlands.

The gonfalon of Hofstra North Shore-LIJ School of Medicine at Hofstra University carries an emblem representing the “staff of Asclepius,” the traditional symbol of medicine. It is trimmed in green to represent the discipline of medicine, and carries bands of the University’s and the North Shore-LIJ Health System’s colors.

THE MARSHALS’ SCAPULARS The marshals in today’s academic procession are wearing specially designed scapulars of their offices. The scapulars draw their basic characteristics from the official seal of the University. Each is designed against a background of silver thread, laid with gold lace and embroidered threads of red, blue and green, the colors of the Hofstra seal.

The scapular of the grand marshal carries the University seal in full color as the breastplate. The breastplates of the other marshals are linked with other significant sections of the seal. The badges of the trustee and guest marshal, faculty marshal, and graduate marshal carry four, three, or two tassels of gold, in order of rank, while the scapulars of the highest rank, grand marshal, and the baccalaureate marshal are without tassels. Assistant marshals carry batons.

These badges of office and the gonfalons were designed and executed by Gabriel Jooris and family, working in cooperation with Robert D. Noble, former secretary of the University, 1954-1984. The Libraries’ gonfalon was designed by a committee of the Library staff under the direction of Dr. Charles R. Andrews, former dean of the Joan and Donald E. Axinn Library. It was dedicated in November 1993. The School of Communication gonfalon was dedicated during the 1996 Commencement Exercises. The gonfalon for the School for University Studies was designed by David C. Christman, former dean of the School for University Studies, and dedicated in 1997. The gonfalon for Honors College was designed by Dr. J. Stephen Russell, former dean of Honors College, and dedicated in 2001. The gonfalon for the School of Medicine was designed by Herman A. Berliner, provost and senior vice president for academic affairs; Liora Pedhazur Schmelkin, senior vice provost for academic affairs and dean of graduate studies; and June E. Scarlett, associate dean for administration, Hofstra North Shore-LIJ School of Medicine at Hofstra University. It was dedicated in 2009.

8 ACADEMIC HERALDRY The wearing of caps, gowns, and hoods at college and university functions dates to the Middle Ages, when they were first worn by monks and students for warmth in the damp and drafty 12th-century castles and halls of learning. Through the years, their styles and colors have come to represent certain specific meanings.

Gowns for the bachelor’s degree have a semistiff yoke, long pleated front, and intricate shirring across the shoulders and back. The bachelor’s gown is worn closed and is distinguished primarily by its long pointed sleeves.

The gown for the master’s degree has the same yoke effect as that of the bachelor’s, but is designed so that it may be worn open or closed. The back of the sleeve is oblong and cut square, with the front part carrying a cutaway arc.

Gowns for the doctoral degree may also be worn open or closed. They have long velvet panels down the front and three velvet bars on the bell-shaped sleeves. This velvet trimming may be either black or the color distinctive of the field of learning to which the degree pertains.

Members of the Hofstra University Board of Trustees wear academic robes and caps in the distinctive colors of the University. A small, embroidered replica of the seal of the University is worn on each lapel.

It is the hood that gives color and definitive meaning to the academic costume. The hood is of varying sizes for master’s and doctoral degrees and of material to match the gown. It is lined with the color or colors of the institution conferring the degree. The hood is bordered with velvet of the proper width and color to indicate the field of learning.

11 PHILIP ROSENTHAL

Philip Rosenthal is the creator, executive producer and writer of the long-running CBS sitcom Everybody Loves Raymond. The idea for the show was born from his successful partnership with stand-up comedian Ray Romano. During its nine seasons, Everybody Loves Raymond garnered more than 70 Primetime Emmy Award nominations and won the Emmy for Outstanding Comedy Series in 2003 and 2005.

Prior to his work with Everybody Loves Raymond, Mr. Rosenthal was a writer and producer for such shows as Coach, Down the Shore, and Baby Talk. Mr. Rosenthal is also author of the book You’re Lucky You’re Funny: How Life Becomes a Sitcom (2006), and directed President Bill Clinton in the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner video in 2000.

In spring 2011, he guest starred on the NBC comedy 30 Rock.

A proud graduate of Hofstra University, Mr. Rosenthal was named Hofstra’s Alumnus of the Year in 2005, and continues to be a frequent guest on campus. In March 2011, he came to Hofstra to screen his new documentary, Exporting Raymond (2010), the funny true story of his attempt to turn Everybody Loves Raymond into a Russian sitcom.

Mr. Rosenthal and his wife, actress Monica Horan ’84 (who played Amy on Everybody Loves Raymond), have remained active Hofstra University alumni throughout the years. They established the Phil and Monica Rosenthal Foundation, which provides funding for Hofstra’s Documenting Diversity program that is sponsored by the School of Communication; the Phil and Monica Rosenthal Scholarship for Outstanding Achievement in Comedy for a student in the Department of Drama and Dance; and the Richard Mason Memorial Endowed Scholarship in honor of the beloved Hofstra drama professor who recently passed away.

Philip Rosenthal earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts at Hofstra University in 1981. He and Monica Horan currently live in Los Angeles with their two children.

12 Presidential Medal Recipient

THE HONORABLE ERIC T. SCHNEIDERMAN

The honorable Eric T. Schneiderman was elected the 65th attorney general of New York state in November 2010. As attorney general, Mr. Schneiderman is the highest-ranking law enforcement officer for the state, responsible for representing New York and its residents in legal matters. He has worked to restore faith in public and private sector institutions by focusing on areas such as public integrity, economic and social justice, and environmental protection.

In his first weeks in office, Attorney General Schneiderman launched an aggressive plan to expose fraud and return money stolen from New York taxpayers, at no additional cost to the state. This initiative includes a new Taxpayer Protection Unit specifically designed to target corruption of state contracts, pension fund rip-offs, and large-scale tax cheats. He also launched an initiative to bolster his office’s Medicaid Fraud Control Unit, which has recovered millions of dollars to taxpayers by cracking down on fraud in the Medicaid program.

Attorney General Schneiderman has taken a leading role in the national fight for a fair mortgage settlement for homeowners that holds banks accountable for their role in the foreclosure crisis; initiated several investigations of government corruption and misuse of public funds; launched a thorough review of AT&T Inc.’s proposed acquisition of T-Mobile USA Inc., for potential anti-competitive impacts on consumers and businesses statewide; and challenged the Indian Point Energy Center’s nuclear power plant practices related to high-level radioactive waste storage, earthquake preparedness and fire safety. Attorney General Schneiderman was also instrumental in shutting down the largest heroin operation in Buffalo history – a statewide drug trafficking pipeline from New York City to western New York.

Before being elected attorney general, Mr. Schneiderman served in the New York State Senate as a leading reformer, and was praised as a rare leader in Albany who stood up to leaders of both political parties to reform government. Among his many legislative accomplishments, he passed sweeping ethics reforms, chaired the committee to expel a corrupt senator, and passed the toughest law in the nation to root out fraud against taxpayers.

Attorney General Schneiderman spent 15 years in private practice as an attorney, and later became partner at the law firm of Kirkpatrick & Lockhart, where he handled complex litigation. He was also a public interest lawyer for many years, representing taxpayers in historic lawsuits, including tenants trying to evict drug dealers from their buildings, and women seeking access to health clinics. He also served as counsel in a taxpayer lawsuit against New York’s Metropolitan Transit Authority.

Attorney General Schneiderman graduated from Amherst College in 1977, and earned a J.D. from Harvard Law School in 1982. He is the proud father of a daughter, Catherine.
