Forensic Scientist Thomas Kubic, 2017

It is often said that
one thing that sets John Jay apart from other colleges is a faculty
that seamlessly integrates academic theory with real-world
experience. Few faculty members embody that idea as well as Thomas A.
Kubic, an associate professor of forensic science and chemistry. He
is an attorney, a 23-year police veteran, and as of April 21, the
recipient of the Alumni Association's 2017 Distinguished Faculty
Award. (He also happens to be a John Jay alumnus.) read more

Eschalla
Clarke (B.A.
05),
writes that her 7-year-old daughter, Hailey, recently won
the Delaware USA Ambassador Pageant Jr. PreTeen crown. More than
swimsuits and evening gowns, the pageant promotes success through
leadership, integrity, character and confidence, providing girls and
women with personal growth, a foundation for individual success, a
forum for personal awareness platforms, work with local communities
as a representative and role model, and an opportunity to raise funds
for a selected charity.
John
M. DeMaggio (B.S.
75), has
been chosen to receive the Woodrow Wilson Award for Distinguished
Government Service from the Johns Hopkins University Alumni
Association. DeMaggio, a retired Special Agent in Charge and Captain
with the U.S. Navy, earned a master's degree from the Whiting School
of Engineering at Johns Hopkins.
Jonah Triebwasser (B.S.
72), the Town and
Village of Red Hook (N.Y.) Justice, has been awarded a scholarship to
attend the National Judicial College in Reno, Nev., where he will be
studying how to handle cases involving commercial
vehicles. Triebwasser, who earned his law degree from New York
Law School, is a past president of the Dutchess County
Magistrates Association, a past president of the Dutchess County Bar
Association, and past president of the Ulster
County Bar Association.
