Karen Krause Brody '71, '80g and Dr. Steven Brody '73

Dr. Steven Brody ’73 (Psychology) and Karen Krause Brody ’71 (Art Education) ’80g (Art Education) created an endowed fund for the college of Liberal Arts & Sciences at SUNY New Paltz to assist students facing unexpected financial challenges.

“We wanted to give a gift to someone suffering some sort of economic hardship,” said Steven. “The students with a 3.9 or a 4.0 almost always find a way to finish and get their degree. There’s often someone there to rescue them. We wanted to help the people with a 3.0 who don’t have that guardian angel watching over them.”
