Name: Gayle Brodsky.
Position: Undergraduate program administrator for the politics department. Tracking the fulfillment of requirements for more than 220 concentrators.

Maintaining the undergraduate portion of the department’s website.
Quote: “Princeton is a very stimulating environment to be in every day, and my favorite part is the interactions I have with students. As an undergraduate at Penn State, I had a great rapport with my academic adviser, Bernie Bronstein, whose assistance I sought frequently. His guidance made my experience that much smoother and ultimately made me one day want to become a ‘Bernie’ for others. This job has allowed me to serve in the same capacity with many students, which is very enriching.”
