Suffolk County Legislator Susan A. Berland selected Linda Beigel Schulman, ’94, as the 2020 “Woman of Distinction.” Schulman was instrumental in the passage of the “Red Flag Law” in Florida, which calls for the removal of firearms from people deemed by a court to be a present danger to themselves or others. She advocated for a similar law in New York that has been regarded as the most comprehensive gun safety legislation in the country.
