Subject: [Fredslist] Congratulations to Victoria Drogin! 


It is with great pleasure that I share this wonderful news throughout our
Gotham family and extend our congratulations to Victoria who has recently
accepted the role of Associate Dean and Dean for Professional Development
at Hofstra Law School.  (See press release below) I know we all join in
wishing her great success in this new chapter of her life.


Don't worry though -- Victoria remains as active as ever within Gotham,
still co-chairing both NY Womens and East End as well as whatever other
projects come up along the way.


Way to go Victoria!


Hofstra Law Establishes Senior Role to Oversee Professional Development and
                            Career Advancement
Victoria Roberts Drogin ('90) to broaden student and alumni success through
                   innovative, skills-based programming


Hofstra Law School, Hempstead, N.Y. - Victoria Roberts Drogin ('90) has
joined Hofstra Law School as Associate Dean and Dean for Professional
Development.

"I am truly pleased that Victoria has agreed to leave her highly successful
business and join Hofstra Law full-time," said Dean Nora V. Demleitner.
"This is a reshaped, elevated role and will be a critical one - helping our
students develop professional identities that will establish their future
success and leadership skills to help them make an impact in their fields.
Victoria's unique perspective and impressive background will enable her to
implement strategies that maximize the career potential of our young
lawyers."

"I am tremendously excited to return to Hofstra Law in this capacity," said
Dean Roberts. "The opportunity to further the law school's vision of
supporting its students as leaders and professionals, and expanding the
school's innovative career and professional development programming, was so
compelling to me that it justified leaving my consultancy. Hofstra Law is a
dynamic, vibrant place, and I am dedicated to supporting the professional
success of our students, alumni, and the school as a whole."

Dean Roberts will oversee and create synergies between the Offices of
Career Services, Student Affairs, and Academic Records at the Law School.
As an alumna and the lead creator of Hofstra Law's Classroom to Career
(C2C) programs, she is familiar with and has a vested interest in the
growth of Hofstra Law students and alumni.

C2C highlights two critical elements of professional development not taught
as part of a traditional law school curriculum: training students to
develop their professional presence and teaching them the practical skills
of being a lawyer. The methods by which these trainings are conducted
include on- and off-campus special events, such as boot camps, seminars,
and networking opportunities.

"Now more than ever, employers want entry-level professionals who already
possess effective leadership, communication, and business development
skills," Dean Roberts added. "and the ability to accomplish this and
support our graduates' successful transition to the workplace is greatly
increased through the active and ongoing participation of our alumni and
the broader legal community in their professional and career development.
This will be a primary focus, as well."

Bringing 20 years in professional practice, Victoria most recently served
as owner and president of MindShift Resources, an executive coaching,
leadership and business management consultancy.

Prior to founding MindShift, Victoria was a partner at the law firm of
LePatner & Associates, LLP for 10 years, where she served as administrative
partner and spearheaded their client development and management
initiatives. She earned a B.A. in English Literature from Wellesley
College, a J.D. from Hofstra Law School, and certifications in Executive
and Organizational Coaching and Life Coaching from New York University.

                                                                        # #
