Ariela (Rutkin-Becker) Rutbeck-Goldman '09 spent her first few years out of Cornell teaching special education through DC Teaching Fellows, and working with tribal youth in California through AmeriCorps, before attending UC Irvine School of Law. Now a legal services attorney in New York and New Jersey, Rutbeck-Goldman attributes her preparation for a career in public service to NES and the undergraduate experiences she had learning about different cultures surrounded by a small, supportive group of faculty and fellow students.
