Class Notes
Samuel Strauss, CST ’67
retired from the NASA Johnson Space Center. He was a flight surgeon who supported astronaut spacewalk training and operational zero-gravity research and training flights. In addition, he was appointed associate professor of medicine at Texas A&M Health Science Center College of Medicine and is teaching a senior elective in aerospace medicine.

Marsha Levick, LAW ’76
won the coveted 2015 Philadelphia Award, which is given each year to a citizen of the region who acted and served on behalf of the best interests of the community. Levick’s work in juvenile law achieved new success in the recent United States Supreme Court decision Montgomery v. Louisiana, which found that its earlier ruling prohibiting mandatory sentences of life in prison without the possibility of parole for juvenile defendants applies retroactively. In Philadelphia alone, hundreds of individuals should now have the opportunity to be resentenced or considered for parole with the possibility of one day being able to return to society.

Andrew Bidlack, BYR ’03
made his debut at the Metropolitan Opera in New York singing in Pagliacci. He will be singing in the world premiere of In Parenthesis by John Ball with the Welsh National Opera at the Royal Opera House in Covent Garden, London.
