As co-editor in chief of Just Security, Tess Bridgeman ’10 brings her national security expertise back to NYU Law
When Tess Bridgeman ’10 began her job as an attorney advisor in the US Department of State’s Office of the Legal Adviser, she was glad that she had kept her old notes from NYU Law courses such as War, the President, and the Constitution, taught by Hiller Family Foundation Professor of Law David Golove.

“When I began working as an attorney for the special envoy for the closure of the Guantanamo Bay Detention Facility, I ended up drawing on my notes from David Golove’s course whether I had a question on habeas litigation, detainee treatment, or military commissions, or how international and domestic law intersect I looked back at what I had learned in that course on a daily basis.” She adds: “I could not have been better prepared by NYU [Law].”

Powell stated, âI embrace this chance to lead B-CU forward and help our students succeed from every opportunity that this institution has to offer. I am living proof of what Dr. Mary McLeod intended when she established her college; it is my great honor to lead B-CU.â

$1 million donation on hold?
Perry took issue with Chrite s characterization that the two were not in alignment. If you know anything about board operations on any board, there s always give and take, he said. Disagreements are normal.
One matter in which the board and Chrite apparently didn t see eye-to-eye was a donation-naming rights offer. There is a myth going around that I turned down $1 million, Perry said. Someone wanted to name a building and they were going to give the school $1 million. That s not true.
A policy that s several years old states naming rights for a building require a minimum $5 million donation, Perry explained.

Mary MacLeod
As a raft of passengers were refused aircraft boarding to Spain in recent weeks Mary MacLeod is just one of the many who were denied access to a plane from the UK to Alicante-Elche airport.
“A Ryanair employee went to speak to someone else – and said they weren’t allowed to let me board – the Spanish authorities would send me back home because I don’t actually own a property in Spain,” said Mary, who was left heartbroken at Liverpool airport on April 3.
Glasgow born Mary says she was left absolutely gutted after Ryanair staff allegedly refused her permission to board the flight.
