Four Graduates Selected as NYS Excelsior Fellows

For the first time in our school’s history, fourTouro Law students have been selected as prestigious New York State Excelsior Service Fellows. Congratulations to Daniel Cracco, Christopher Dor, Jeff Gautsche, and Jamie Ruiz .

The New York State Excelsior Service Fellowship is designed to provide graduating law students with an opportunity to nurture and cultivate the next generation of leaders in New York State government. Fellows work in a variety of capacities within government agencies including the Department of Environmental Conservation, the Department of Labor, Housing and Community Renewal, the Department of Financial Services, and the Empire State Development Corporation.

Christopher Dor stated, “It is an honor to be selected as an Excelsior Fellow. This is a special opportunity for me to use the skill set that I have developed throughout my law school career to help better the citizens of New York state. Though our specific placements are yet to be determined, I hope to be placed in the New York State Department of Financial Services or the Executive Chambers of the Governor. I am excited to get started and make an impact!"

Each student will continue to excel as they impact others. These students will enjoy the opportunity to work in Albany for two years, with potential and hope to remain in the State service.
