COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY
| Soon after 9/11, this memorial to Cindy was set up at the entrance to the Department of Chemistry at Columbia University in New York City. Cindy worked as the Graduate Student Coordinator of the chemistry department from June 1, 2000 to February 8, 2001 while attending school at Columbia. I'd like to thank Simon and Lisa S. Boffa for providing these pictures. |
| In a letter the family needed detailing Cindy's work history, Cindy's supervisor at Columbia wrote some very touching words regarding Cindy: "As Cindy's supervisor, I would like you to know that she was competent, responsible and extremely capable. Had she remained at Columbia, I believe that she would not have been satisified to remain in a staff position. Cindy had the potential of becoming an officer of the University... On one of her last projects, she supervised a casual worker who helped her update and organize student's files and records in a clearer more efficient manner than her predecessors had employed. We continue to benefit from this endeavor. We want you to know that Cindy is very much missed. We wish you and all of Cindy's members all the best for the future. Sincerly, Isabel F. Rivera" |
