It's a full-circle moment for LaToya C. Crawford (BBA, '03) as she makes her way back to Baruch College's Max Berger Pre-Law Program to serve as a Peer Pre-Law Mentor for the 2026–2027 cohort. ⚖️🎓

Crawford's commitment to advancing education and representation in marginalized communities led her to serve leadership roles in non-profit organizations and schools across the U.S. The choice to go to law school was to fulfill a "lifelong calling to pursue justice, advocacy, and generational change," Crawford said. 💬

Now pursuing her Juris Doctor at North Carolina Central University School of Law, Crawford is bringing her experience to inspire students. "I understand how invaluable mentorship can be throughout the law school application process. The guidance, encouragement, and wisdom I received along the way made a lasting difference, and I am grateful for the opportunity to pay that forward," Crawford shared in a LinkedIn post. 🤝

Baruch College Zicklin School of Business undergraduate My Anh Phan (BBA, ’28) started out as an artist but caught the business bug early.

At Francis Lewis High School in Queens, My Anh (pronounced “Mayan”) studied fine arts, exhibited her paintings in galleries, and interned at The Metropolitan Museum of Art. She also founded a club called Art For Awareness, which sold club members’ artwork on stickers, phone charms, keychains, bracelets, and the like, to raise money for charities.

After Art For Awareness made over $1,000 in a single day—“it was fun and I felt creative”—My Anh decided to study business in college, following in the footsteps of her sister Kieu Anh (Zoey) Phan to Baruch and the Zicklin School of Business. In her freshman year, she co-founded Bearcat Thrift, a student-run marketplace peddling new and vintage apparel alongside handcrafted items like soaps and candles supporting other student entrepreneurs on campus. She also planted the seeds for her current venture, Popped Up!, which recently won all three startup competitions across CUNY.
