She was Editor of Law Notes, the Law Alumni Association magazine, and created numerous law school publications as well. By 2010 when she retired, she had composed a seven-decade history of the law school and worked for four deans, two interim deans, and generations of faculty and students.

For several years, she partnered with the late Professor Emeritus Arthur Landever (CSU|LAW HOF 2019) in creating and facilitating a series of Great Stories and the Law seminars. She is presently involved in a free GED-tutoring program, primarily serving immigrants, the poor, and persons recovering from addiction.
