March 04, 2008
The Maureen A. Hartigan COACH Program on February 26, 2008
brought 75 students and 5 alumni to participate in this annual
event, designed to provide students with guidance, insight and
practical interviewing skills as they embark upon their careers in
the field of Education.
The forum was established in 1988 by Anne Hartigan Flynn, Grace
Hartigan Klinger and Catherine Hartigan McNicholl in memory of
their sister Maureen A. Hartigan, to provide partial annual
scholarship support to a full-time undergraduate student who has
achieved sophomore, junior or senior status in the School of
Education. This year’s scholarship winner was Raquel Estevez a
junior with a 3.85GPA.

The students received valuable advice from this year’s keynote
speaker Dr. Rita Stein, author and consultant, who discussed
resume writing and interviewing skills. COACH is an acronym for
"Count On Alumni for Career Help." The five St. John's
University alumni who guided several students through mock
interviews were LarryBurke `73Ed, `77GEd, Mary Fritz `54Ed, `84PD,
`93EdD, Maureen Henry `82GEd, Steve Rosenberg, `73GED and Brenda
Williams-Jackson `01EdD. Students can take this valuable
information to The School of Education Job Fair which is scheduled
for April 3, 2008 on the Queens Campus in Council Hall.
