Stephan Lally

“I am most proud of forming the Student Relief Fund and Ramapo College Food Pantry, which is now institutionalized as a part of the WeCare Program. The effort took almost two years of planning, but to see it all come to fruition has made the effort I put in worthwhile,” says Stephan Lally, who is serving in his second year as Student Government President . Stephan is a Political Science Major with a minor in Public Policy. He has 3.2 GPA.

Stephan has also served as a policy intern in the Joint Legislative Offices of Senator Vitale, Speaker Coughlin, and Assemblywoman Lopez in the 19th Legislative District, and is currently serving a one-year term on the Higher Education Student Assistance Authority.  He also has an on campus job in the Office of Governmental Relations.

 “My passion for helping my fellow man has guided my decision to major in political science so I can pursue a career in public service post-graduation. I truly believe good, impactful public policy is the only way to create more equitable society.”

Stephan is from Woodbridge, N.J.

Mrs. Saiff is a volunteer at the Berrie Center for Performing and Visual Arts. Both have been active participants on many campus committees and have been generous contributors to a number of causes on campus, from scholarships to The Fund for Ramapo College. In addition, as part of a major capital contribution, the TAS Dean’s Suite will be named the Edward and Roberta Saiff Dean’s Suite in honor of their ongoing generosity, involvement in the college’s history and dedication to Ramapo’s mission and goals.
