"Your guidance, support, has tailored the lawyer that I am today" -Mariekendy W

Hi Professor Merton,

I want to start by saying that you were truly influential in my legal career. Your guidance, support, has tailored the lawyer that I am today. I have so much love and respect for the dedication, passion and respect that you have for immigrants and people as a whole. I hope to one day be the woman, and lawyer that you are.

I wish you a wonderful retirement and speedy recovery. I’ll truly miss you and appreciate everything you’ve done for me.

Congratulations on your retirement! It’s well deserved!

Best,
Mariekendy W
