Levy will oversee “Synergy,” a professional development newsletter published by the National Association of Student Personnel Administrators (NASPA) Student Affairs Partnering with Academic Affairs (SAPAA) Knowledge Community.
Levy has been involved with NASPA for 11 years. The association works toward the advancement, health and sustainability of the student affairs profession through programs, experiences and services that cultivate student learning and success in concert with the mission of its colleges and universities.

Previous to CSM, he had worked within academic and student affairs at five community colleges and Hispanic Serving Institutions (HSIs) including Atlantic Cape Community College, LaGuardia Community College, Long Island University and Suffolk County Community College. As a full professor for Fordham University and associate professor for Long Island University, Levy presented nearly 100 graduate courses in mental health and school counseling and more than 40 undergraduate psychology courses. He also chaired student success courses and bridge programs.
Levy has published numerous articles, chapters, case studies and books addressing emerging issues in higher education.
