Barbara Wexler OSS Memorial Fund

The Barbara Wexler OSS Memorial Fund was created by Barbara’s colleagues, family, friends and former students in 2019. Barbara joined the College in 1989 as a Disability Counselor with the Office of Specialized Services. She served in leadership roles with the NJ Association on Higher Education and Disability, was a proud Safe Zone ally, and also was for a time the campus advisor to Hillel. She passed away on February 15, 2019, after having served the college for almost 30 years. In keeping with Barbara’s commitment to students, and her dedication to collaborating with her colleagues, this fund also provides a meaningful way to honor other members of the OSS staff who have passed away . Like Barbara, these staff members were tireless advocates for students with disabilities, and helped hundreds of Ramapo students meet their career and transition goals. Funds are to be applied toward expenses related to career and/or transition
