Alumni Spotlight

CUNY SPS alumni are among the best, brightest and most dedicated. Here's what some of our alumni have to say about their CUNY SPS experience, professional accomplishments and career goals.

Allan Goldstein

MA in Disability Studies, Class of 2015

“The school respects the schedule of a full-time employed person, so hybrid (online and in person), evening, and Saturday offerings are typical; I appreciated that I could complete the degree in a reasonable amount of time while keeping my day job.”

Michelle C. Pinedo

BS in Business, Class of 2013

“…many years of work experience along with my bachelor’s degree from CUNY SPS enabled me to attain executive level positions.”

Ben Anthony

Advanced Certificate in Immigration Law

"I am now practicing immigration law in immigration court. There was no greater feeling than when I walked into court for the first time. If I had never gone back to court after that day, I would have accomplished what I set out to do."

Vearlane Edge

BA in Communication and Media, Class of 2014

"It was very encouraging to know that [my classmates] were from a plethora of environments and diverse cultures but we were able to respect and accept each other’s opinions and work ethics when they differed from each other."

Larry J. Strong

MS in Business Management & Leadership, Class of 2013

The MOST important thing I learned at CUNY SPS is knowledge of self. I learned that I could be a good student. I learned that I could digest and process subjects like statistics, accounting and organizational behavior. Most importantly, I learned that I could do what I set out to do!
