Sylvia Leszanczuk
Sylvia has dedicated her carrier to helping those who have been taken advantage of by large institutions. After graduating from the University of Chicago Law School, Sylvia worked as a Federal Attorney for the United States Department of Education where she investigated deceptive admissions practices at various proprietary educational institutions and adjudicated borrower defense claims, resulting in over $4 billion in recovery for defrauded students. Prior to joining the Department as an attorney, she spent her summer with them in Washington D.C. investigating fraudulent lending practices at post-secondary institutions and reviewing agency renewal petitions to determine if agencies demonstrated a sufficient Federal Link to obtain accreditation and participate in non-HEA Federal programs as required by the Secretary. She also conducted full foreign medical education reviews for Canada and Grenada, analyzing the standards utilized by both countries to accredit medical institutions, and determined whether they met the Department’s accreditation standards.
After her own stepfather suffered from over 20 heart attacks and was given less than a 3% chance of survival due to the negligence of various physicians and hospitals, Sylvia focused her attention on helping those who have been hurt. She now devotes her entire career to helping injured workers and people get access to needed medical care and the rights that are afforded to them under the law.
