Not sure what to say?

She was an inspiring and well-educated Philosophy teacher at Hunter College. I think of her with gratitude and respect.

Dick and I heard about Paula from Bob Rosen not very logn ago. We have such gooid memories of working with her and, you also, Greg. She will be missed by many but I think her important contributions will ensure that she will not be forgotten. Our condolences.

Paula contributed so much to women's and social justice studies. Her New Jersey Project Curriculum Transformation work changed education across the country. Thank you, Paula!

You did show us all how to live, Paula. With passion, strength, and humor. I treasure our years as colleagues.

Paula was tough minded, compassionate, and always pushed her students to think critically. Her teaching and books strongly influenced my evolution as a pro-feminist male.

Paula, a friend,a mentor,a colleague,a comrade, an inspiration. We shared a remarkable journey at William Paterson. With respect, gratitude, and love.
