President Barack Obama appointed Fordham Law 1982 alumnus Arthur Gonzalez to the newly established Financial Oversight and Management Board for Puerto Rico to mitigate their ongoing financial crisis.
In a 2007 profile in Fordham Magazine, Gonzalez cited his Jesuit education at Fordham as one of the factors that made him want to work for the public good.
“Jesuit education encourages thinking, analysis and generally provides a good foundation for understanding the subject matter while encouraging a commitment to community and service,” Gonzalez said.
