Stanley Fink Internship Established

Stanley Fink Internship announced in March 1999 to honor the late Stanley Fink, Speaker of the Assembly, 1979-1986. The legislative internship will award $5,000 for a full semester of study. The Bell Atlantic Foundation granted $100,000 to establish the program. In December, the first Stanley Fink Intern was named. He is Jonathan Estreich, a junior history major from New Hyde Park, who will intern with Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver during the Spring 2000 semester and receive a $5,000 stipend.
