Alumni Spotlight

"The Murphy Institute is a valuable resource for local unions and members. It is a place to gain confidence, to further your education, and assume a more informed and active role in the future of the labor movement."

“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.”

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

"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."

"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."
