College and Married Life
Upon graduating from high school, Stern entered Syracuse University in New York in the early 1960s. In November 1964 she met Robert "Robby" Stern, her future husband. They married in July 1965. Stern finished her undergraduate work as a Liberal Arts Major and immediately began her Master's study in Urban Education. She taught the sixth grade in a ghetto school in New York. Five months into her studies, Stern was expelled for preaching "communist and subversive doctrines." In 1966 Susan and Robert Stern drove across country, relocated to Seattle, and enrolled in advanced studies at the University of Washington. Robert Stern entered the University of Washington School of Law and Susan Stern entered the School of Social Work. By 1968, after nearly three years, the Sterns' marriage began to decline. Throughout the rest of the term she finished her graduate studies in social work. In June 1968, Stern separated from her husband and moved to California.
