Heidi Omlor, Ph.D. ‘21
Heidi Omlor played a crucial role in advancing Holocaust education in Maine. Her class of high school students worked with state leaders to sponsor new legislation requiring Holocaust education. About the signed bill, Omlor states, “This will add Holocaust and genocide history to the learning results, requiring all Maine teachers to cover these topics. My students and I are very excited!”
43 states / 13 countries
“I have to travel a lot for work ... and sometimes I’m overseas and might not have WIFI. There’s never been a problem. They understand at Gratz that we’re working professionals and some of us are parents. They make it work for you.”
“I can’t say enough about how nurturing Gratz professors are. In many ways, these folks believe in us before we fully believe in ourselves.”
