so that all alumnae/i of Hunter College High School are now members of the
Alumnae/i Association! Expanding membership in the Alumnae/i Association allows
us to increase career and networking-focused initiatives to support the alumnae/i
body and provides greater opportunity to connect with HCHS in a meaningful way.

eBook licenses so that students could have concurrent access to required
texts, faculty wellness programs, visiting online artists, diversity committee
internships to current students whose summer jobs were canceled, and
resources that have been used to help create a safe and equitable learning
environment throughout this year. In addition, as referenced below in the Letter

Hunter College High School to offset the tremendous expenses posed by the
COVID-19 pandemic.

PROGRAMS ON
DIVERSITY
Supporting Diversity at Hunter
The HCHSAA has sponsored a variety of initiatives in relation to diversity at the high school.
Each year, the Alumnae/i Association reviews proposed programs and issues grants based
on impact and need, including providing support towards the issues of diversity and inclusion.
We have worked with multiple stakeholders at the high school including students, faculty
members, and parents on issues related to diversity. To date, this has involved a multi-directional
approach that has included recruitment of potential student applicants and providing academic
supports, sponsorship of programs and conferences, and funding for internships. We anticipate
broadening our ability to support the student body by consulting with educator experts in the
field of diversity and high school admissions, and by recommending and sponsoring programs
and activities specifically targeted to address diversity issues onsite at Hunter.
Below is an overview of some of the diversity related grants we have funded.

In Tribute
In this issue, we present three tributes from the
friends and family of alumnae, two of whom
included generous bequests to the HCHSAA.
In each instance, their loved ones felt strongly
that providing support to the high school would
be an ideal way in which to honor their memory.
The gifts will fund programs in the arts and
sciences, and provide scholarships for those
students who excel in English. The alumnae
whose lives inspired these gifts had a lasting
impact on their families, their peers, and their
communities, with HCHS always close in mind.
These tribute gifts will also allow these loyal
alumnae an opportunity to touch and enrich
future generations of Hunter students.

MALINA WOLF ’37
EXCELLENCE
IN ENGLISH
LITERATURE PRIZE
Harriet Malina Wolf’s younger sister, Marilyn, was
influenced by many of Harriet’s actions, beginning
with Harriet’s stack of books in their shared bedroom
growing up. Harriet took Marilyn to the Met Opera and
introduced her to the Museum of Modern Art, while
also imparting her love of literature and voracious
appetite for reading. When the public library and the
school library did not offer enough for Harriet, she took
her sister with her to a lending library at 167th Street
near Jerome Avenue, where they borrowed even more
Marilyn Malina (standing) and Harriet MALINA Wolf (sitting)
current literature to read. During their last visit together
in Ridgewood, NJ, Harriet was reading a copy of AlumNotes, and Marilyn knew that setting
up a prize for excellence in English literature at Hunter was the perfect way for Harriet to
be remembered. Marilyn describes, “I can’t think of a more appropriate place to leave a
gift than something that speaks to the present as well as the past. Students today who
excel in their studies and are readers like my sister should be recognized for excellence.”
Throughout her lifetime of civic duty and dedication to literature, Harriet maintained
close friendships with several fellow Hunter alumnae. Harriet was the Campaign Manager
for the first female mayor of her hometown of Teaneck, NJ, and was the President of the
League of Women Voters. She did the New York Times crossword puzzle in ink every
day for 70 years, and her tombstone is engraved with the New York Times logo and the
phrase “well-informed citizen.” Her son, John, recalls how Harriet discussed the great
experience she had at Hunter and the rigorous education she was grateful to receive,
which informed her civic-minded life. He believes in giving back and supporting today’s
generation of Hunter students to give them an opportunity they might not otherwise have,
and to encourage them to pay it forward when they have the opportunity and the means to
do so. As education is more essential now than it was ever before, investing in Hunter is a
top priority for the Malina Wolf family.

THE
LAURA GLICK ENAV-FARHI ’69
MEMORIAL FUND
At Laura Glick’s 50th Hunter Reunion in
June of 2019, she delivered a moving speech
as class speaker and brought to mind the
power of a Hunter education for her fel-
low classmates. When Laura passed away
suddenly and much too soon in October of
2020, her oldest friend and fellow Hunter
alumna, Judith Bass ’69, felt called to find
a way to keep Laura’s memory alive in a way
that would be meaningful to her. Therefore,
she worked with HCHSAA to establish the
Laura Glick '69 Memorial Fund to contribute
funds to the Science Research Program at
Hunter, which supports independent sci-
ence research projects by students. Laura
was an inventive person and loved science
and math as a student. She moved to Israel
after graduating from HCHS and later worked as a computer systems developer and
analyst for a major bank there while raising five children. Supporting the next generation
of bright minds in the fields of science and math felt like a fitting tribute to someone like
Laura.
Many of Laura’s important friendships—with classmates and teachers alike—were
born at Hunter, which Judy describes as an extremely important part of Laura’s life.
When Judy began encouraging fellow alums to give to Hunter in Laura’s memory, the
positive response was an affirmation of the impact Laura had on her community.
8 ALU M NOTE STHE
ROSANNE WYLECZUK ’74
FUND FOR THE ARTS
From editing the yearbook and taking prolific
photos, to performing in plays, to membership in
art museums and local theater groups, Rosanne
Wyleczuk’s passion for the arts flourished during
her time at Hunter. Therefore, it was only fitting for
her husband, Rick Stern, to establish the Rosanne
Wyleczuk Fund for the Arts after her passing. From
the time Rosanne and Rick met during college,
Rosanne cherished her close friendships with
several fellow Hunter class of 1974 alumnae, and
her gratitude for her experience there led to her
continuous support of Hunter throughout her life.
As Rosanne and Rick began estate planning,
they considered the organizations which would
benefit the most and see the most meaningful
impact from their support. With Hunter already
at the top of their philanthropic priorities, it was a
natural choice to designate Hunter as the recipient
of their generous bequest.
A strong work ethic powered Rosanne through
her studies at MIT, where she earned a Bachelor’s
Degree and a Master’s Degree in Computer
Science. When Computer Programming was
no longer a satisfying career, she returned to
school and earned an MBA at the University of
Pennsylvania’s Wharton School. Throughout her
subsequent 25-year career at Hewlett Packard,
Rosanne was driven to excel, just as she was
driven during her time at Hunter. Further, her
wonderful ability to communicate saw her achieve
great success both professionally and socially.
The Rosanne Wyleczuk Fund for the Arts is designed to empower future generations of
students to be more like Rosanne.
WINTER 2021 9LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT Dear Friends, Giving is central to everything that we do at the Hunter College High School Alumnae/i Association. Our budget allows us to provide significant funds to the High School via grants (see page 24 for a detailed summary of our grant support in 2020), to respond to emergency funding needs, to provide free programming and robust communications for our alumnae/i community, and more. And 100% of our budget is funded by donations. To honor this, and to show our appreciation for our community of supporters, this issue of AlumNotes is dedicated to philanthropy. Our Honor Roll of Giving recognizes all donors who supported us from July 1, 2019 through December 31, 2020 with a gift of $125 or more. We also recognize our Purple Society donors; those who have supported HCHSAA with a gift of $1,000 or more ($500 if this is your Milestone Reunion year or you are within five years of graduating). We are deeply grateful to every donor who has supported our work and mission to work towards the recruitment, development, and advancement of the gifted students and alumnae/i of Hunter College High School. I would also like to take this opportunity to share that in January 2021, Lisa Siegmann and Jessica Knoble-Gray from Hunter College High School and the Hunter College Foundation, respectively, approached HCHSAA with an urgent request for funding to support COVID- 19 expenses. In the 2020-2021 school year alone, HCHS has spent $2.2M to satisfy the requirements to safely operate the school while managing the necessary precautions due to the pandemic. CUNY budget cuts have made funding extremely difficult to obtain, and the school has suffered extraordinary hardship due to these expenses. The PTAs of Hunter’s Elementary and High Schools have each pledged $150,000 to help offset this ongoing and tremendous expense, and the HCHSAA Board of Directors has pledged to join them. HCHSAA has made a commitment to grant $250,000 to Hunter College High School to offset the tremendous expenses posed by the COVID-19 pandemic. This ambitious target is designed to provide as much support as possible to the students, faculty, and staff of HCHS as they navigate this unprecedented time. We hope that you will join us in supporting these efforts by visiting www.hchsaa.org/hunteritestrong and contributing to the HCHSAA COVID-19 Emergency Fund. Raymond Tsao ’84 10 ALU M NOTE S

The Alumnae/i Association's Board and staff extend sincerest

acknowledges all donors who gave $125 or more.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, our access to mail deliveries
has been limited. We have done our best to include every gift
received between July 1, 2019 and December 31, 2020, however,
we have experienced a delay in receiving and processing gifts
mailed at the end of 2020. Any gifts not acknowledged here will
be acknowledged in our spring issue of AlumNotes. We apologize
in advance for any errors or omissions.
