What happens when a Brooklyn Law School alum sees an opportunity to help a young athlete—and knows exactly where to turn for the right guidance?

For Fred Curry '03, it meant connecting professional boxer Nasheed “Sugar Sheed” Smith with the expertise of Brooklyn Law School’s Sports Law Clinic.

Curry, a BLS Trustee, longtime mentor, and 2024 Alumnus of the Year, has spent more than two decades giving back to the Law School community. When Smith’s boxing career brought increasingly complex business and legal decisions, Curry connected him with Professor Jodi Balsam and the Sports Law Clinic, where students Harrison Carter '26 and Isabella Didio '26 helped provide legal guidance under Balsam’s supervision. ⚖️

The story is a powerful example of what an engaged alumni network can make possible: sharing expertise, opening doors, and helping talented people pursue their goals. 🤝

Kudos to Brooklyn Law School Professor Shirley Lin, who ​spearheaded an effort with Rutgers Law Professor Stacy Hawkins and New York Law School Professor Andrea J. Johnson in urging the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) to retain EEO-1 reporting requirements.

EEO-1 demographic surveys collect workforce data by job category, race or ethnicity and s*x from certain large employers. The requirements are now under review after the EEOC proposed eliminating them in July. Nearly 120 law professors signed onto the public comment by Professors Lin, Hawkins, and Johnson, arguing that demographic analysis and reporting have been essential for​ Title VII compliance and enforcement for 60 years.

A Brooklyn Law School education can shape a life and, through philanthropy, create opportunities for generations to come.

The new Joseph M. Ryan ’62 Memorial Scholarship, established by Joseph’s wife, Jean Ryan, and son, Andrew Ryan, honors his legacy by supporting first-generation law students. It will provide $50,000 in current-use support over five years and a $150,000 endowed fund that will provide ongoing support once it matures.

Supporting first-generation students is central to Brooklyn Law School’s longstanding commitment to expanding access and opportunity in legal education. Earlier this year, preLaw Magazine named BLS to its Justice & Opportunity Honor Roll, recognizing the Law School’s leadership in expanding access to legal education.

We are grateful to Jean and Andrew for carrying Joseph’s legacy forward and helping create new opportunities for the next generation of lawyers.

Twenty-five years later, we remember the nearly 3,000 people who lost their lives on September 11, 2001, and honor the first responders, rescue and recovery workers, and all those whose lives were forever changed by the attacks.

We remember. We reflect. We will never forget.

The 9/11 Memorial & Museum is marking the 25th anniversary throughout 2026 with commemorative events, educational programs, exhibitions, and opportunities to learn about the lasting impact of September 11.
