He said his commitment to social justice grew when he was vice president of enrollment management and student affairs at Queens College/City University of New York and worked with undocumented students,and they would come into his office and say, “‘I don’t know what to do now. I have no place to go.’ I think I became committed to them, committed to that work and committed to social justice in a larger context.
