Usdan's recent Gala was attended by the Center's friends and sustainers, including Erica Kuhn, a beloved friend to a generation of Usdanites. She is pictured in McKinley before the concert, with her husband, Professor John Kuhn (center) and with Bob Harrod, a longtime Usdan friend and donor. Erica was Andrew McKinley's administrative assistant, and the iconic "campus Mom" whose morning greeting, "Hiya Honey", was treasured by the first Usdanites. She continues to work at Usdan, now as a volunteer in the Center's New York Office.
