48 GRADUATION GOODBYES

Jessica A. Mertz has been the Director of Sexual Violence Prevention at the University of Pennsylvania since 2009. She helps coordinate the University’s efforts to educate students on sexual violence, relationship violence, and stalking. She oversees Penn Violence Prevention, a collaborative program that aims to engage the community in the prevention of interpersonal violence and to ensure students have access to safe and effective resources. The Sphinx undergraduates voted unanimously to choose Jessica as their 2017 Honorary Member.

The Sphinx Board of Governors also inducted as its first Distinguished Penn Alumnus Honorary Member, Robert Sandler, W’52. Celebrating his 65th Reunion this year, Bob Sandler was overlooked by the Sphinx Senior Society in 1951 despite his considerable campus activities including leadership of the Varsity Cheerleading Team and the Pennsylvania Players, Penn’s leading theatrical troupe. Nonetheless, Bob Sandler has been one of Penn’s most active alumni as Co-President of the Class of 1952, 16 years as President of the Westchester/Rockland Regional Club, 10 years on the board of the New York City Regional Club, Secondary School Chair, Westchester/Rockland, Founding Member of the Penn Club of New York, Member, General Alumni Society Board, and Member of the Penn Players Alumni Association Board. In 1998, he was awarded Penn’s highest alumni award, the coveted Alumni Award of Merit. “Red and Blue” also continues to run in the Sandler’s family’s veins as his son, Thomas, graduated Penn in 1987 and his granddaughter, Julia, is currently a freshman in the College.

The Sphinx Board of Governors also congratulates Gavriela “Gavi” Reiter, C’17, winner of the 2017 Paul Miller Leadership Award. The award is named in honor and memory of the late Paul Miller, C’83. Despite suffering all his life from dwarfism and later cancer, Paul Miller excelled in campus and public service leadership as a former Scribe of the Society and cherished Mask & Wig performer. After graduating from the Harvard Law School, Paul Miller became a leading author of the Americans with Disabilities Act, a Commissioner from 19942004 on the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, and until his untimely death in 2010 leaving a wife and two children, a law professor at the University of Washington and White House Personnel Counsel in the early years of the first Obama Administration.

Gavi Reiter won the 2017 Paul Miller Leadership Award for her outstanding campus and public service leadership as Chair of the Penn Student Sustainability Association, Penn’s umbrella organization for all undergraduate sustainability and environmental programming and advocacy.

Penn President Amy Gutmann welcomes the Sphinx Class of 2017 to her campus home.
