Today was a very unique and special day – I was privledged to meet State Senator Kenneth LaValle in his home office in the First District of NY State. Senator LaValle (wiki) has been in office since 1977 and is responsible for representing the residents of Eastern Suffolk County, NY. He has contributed greatly to the development of Stony Brook University which I attend, and the new modern stadium bears his name. Today I was speaking to him about some of the important issues graduate students are facing at the university which affect daily life. Specifically the issues effecting Research Assistants who perform the work in the labs under the tutelage of a professor. The Senator was very passionate about higher education and concerned about the economic situation families are facing today with the mounting costs associated with attending college.
