I met Professor Engle-Friedman during Fall 2020, when the world was shut away in homes and our futures were uncertain. In a moment when everyone felt distant, Professor Engle-Friedman brought warmth, levity and hope. She made me believe that a career in climate justice was not a pipe dream, but something that could be a reality. She provided me with guidance, opportunities and mentorship in a way that was always uplifting. I felt very lucky to have her in my life. Thank you for having more belief in me then I did in myself Professor.

Baruch College's Office of Communications, Marketing, and Public Affairs sends deep condolences to the family and friends of Professor Mindy Engel-Friedman. Mindy was a an exceptional colleague to many of us in the department who worked with her for years. In her role as Baruch's ombudsman, she was a kind, compassionate soul who supported employees during low points in their careers. Words can't express how much we will miss Mindy. Her passing brought tears to our eyes.
