The Board of Trustees has elected Dr. Estelle Cooke-Sampson '74 and Christine Isaaks Reilly '75 as term trustees.

Cooke-Sampson, of Washington, D.C., is a radiologist with Metropolitan Radiology Associates in Washington and director of D.C. Imaging Associates.

A biology major, she earned her medical degree at Georgetown University Medical School. She did an internship with the U.S. Public Health Service in Louisiana, a radiology residency at Howard University Hospital in Washington, and a fellowship in CT/ultrasound, also at Howard. She belongs to a number of professional organizations, is a spokesperson for the D.C. Cancer Consortium, serves in the D.C. National Guard, and is on the D.C. Board of Medicine and the Board of D.C. Medical Society.

She has served the College as an admissions representative, career day presenter, and alumni event speaker, and last year she was awarded an Eliphalet Nott Medal for distinction in her field.

She and her husband, Robert Sampson, have two children.

Reilly, of Washington Crossing, Penn., is head of worldwide operations and technology strategic planning for Morgan Stanley Asset Management and Miller, Anderson & Sherrerd. She also is responsible for mutual funds administration for Morgan Stanley Asset Management's Worldwide Mutual Funds.

Reilly began her career as a systems analyst and became a principal of the firm in eight years. She credits her technology courses at the College with providing the foundation for her success. “Union had one of the few computer science degrees in the early '70s,” she says. “Union's courses, and the fact that liberal arts courses were required, provided what I needed to succeed.”

She earned her bachelor's degree in computer science and mathematics. As an alumna, she has been a member of the Trustee Board of Advisors, a member of the Ramee Circle, an associate class agent, and a participant in alumni career networking.

She is married to Dr. Robert E. Reilly.
