Government and Community Relations

Bernie Hurwitz

Please welcome Susan Wallace as our new Government Relations Specialist! Susan holds an MPA and a BA from the University at Albany and previously served as a Legislative Aide to NYS Assemblymember Jen Lunsford. In her new role, she will coordinate federal relations, monitor policy developments, and advance congressional engagement—and she has already hit the ground running with ASL instruction and the 2026 Annual Report.  Stop by LBJ-2213 in the east hallway to give Susan a warm NTID welcome!

Bernie Hurwitz has a new, expanded business title: Chief of Staff for NTID and Associate Vice President for NTID Administration. This updated title better reflects the breadth of his responsibilities supporting NTID leadership and overseeing key administrative functions and institutional priorities.
