The pair, with fellow Pace Environmental Policy Clinic students, successfully completed a campaign to require the U.S. Coast Guard to publicly examine and address the environmental impacts of establishing 43 anchorages in the Hudson River. In May 2017, the students travelled to Washington, D.C. to meet with the chiefs of staff of Hudson Valley representatives to garner support in ensuring the Coast Guard follows through with their commitment. "The CCAR has truly expanded the walls of Pace University to its community. The volunteers from Pace have made a huge difference for the clients of Hamilton- Madison House. They made our community Halloween Party a reality, brought a rainbow of color to the walls of our building, and allowed our music students to perform on a professional stage."
