Catharine R. Stimpson is a university professor and dean of the Graduate School of Arts and Science at New York University

Never was anyone named more aptly than Sunny Bates. She radiates charm and energy. She is also as smart as the sun is warm.

I have worked closely with her on board matters for a leading arts organization. She knows where the talent is, where the trends are,
and how to put talent, trends, and organizations together. She is a treasure.
