Eric is a proud Saybrugian, and checks regularly to see that his name is still on the wall to the right of the entry into the Common Room, with the rest of the Mary Casner Prize recipients. Eric was a member of the Saybrook College Council and SAC for all four years, and served as SAC chair for two years. He also ran the Squiche and the Underbook Press (we had a printing press under O entryway before 2001 renovation), and represented Saybrook on the YCC for three years. Eric was a double-major in Biology and International Studies. He also holds an MA in Urban Studies from CUNY/Queens College, and is in formation to become a Deacon for the Roman Catholic Diocese of Brooklyn.
Since Yale, Eric has worked at the New York City Department of Parks & Recreation. He began in Marketing & Special Events (essentially SAC chair and Dramat producer for the City), and has worked in Special Events and Permits, Operations, and Capital Projects. He is currently the Rockaway Administrator, overseeing seven miles of ocean beach - including NYC’s only official surf beaches - two dozen playgrounds, and three hundred acres of natural areas with several endangered species under protection. Eric is also Yale’s Alumni Schools Committee director for Brooklyn, and is a collaborator in Feb Club Emeritus. He can be reached via email.
