It was a privilege to have been Mike’s student early in my doctoral studies, to have had my perspective as a scholar shaped by his steadfast belief in the power of organizations to make a difference in people’s lives. Zichrono livracha – may his memory be for a blessing. Alav hashalom.

What a loss not for only family, friends, co-educators, and SSA, but especially for the world of education! Prof. Michael Sosin was one my favorite professors at SSA. I took one of his policy classes at SSA in 2007. It was an in-depth class on social welfare policy that I’ve learned to understand. My condolences to his family and friends! I wish them peace and confort as they remember a great man, like Prof. Michael Sosin!

Prof. Sosin, you’ll be very much missed! Thank you for the profound education you thought me. It was a blessing for me to be in your wonderful class. Again, thank you! R.I.P.

Mike, Susan Grossman and I were reseach partners on his last reseach project: the evaluation of chicago’s plan to end homelessness. I was so glad to get to know him on this project: his intelligence, wit, skill, and dedication to scholarship, but more importantly, I think, to the powerless, made him a wonderful person. He was of such value.
