Dedication
The 2008–2009 Annual Report is dedicated
to Julien J. Studley.
It is with deep respect and great pleasure that The New School dedicates this year’s Annual Report to Julien J. Studley. For the past 23 years, Julien has been a fierce protector of the university’s founding mission to create a place where people are encouraged to think freely and brilliant scholars are given refuge to flourish without fear. Julien’s association with The New School began when he attended classes as a student. He went on to teach a popular survey course on real estate, serve on the vast majority of trustee committees and several boards of governors, and act as chair of several committees and the board of trustees. He has used his considerable experience and knowledge of The New School to guide the university in its continuing efforts to offer a unique education to students seeking to effect positive social change. We are grateful and honored to be the beneficiaries of his wisdom, gained from the ground up, and his extremely generous support, including the creation of a student activity fund sponsoring cross-divisional activities. Julien’s hard work, integrity, and creativity are etched into the very core of The New School, and for this we are extremely thankful.
