Alumni Volunteer Awards

An impressive slate of alumni were honored for their dedication and service to the University community this year at our annual NYU Alumni and Families Weekend. The Alumni Volunteer Awards are given to officially-recognized clubs, groups, and individuals that further the mission of the NYUAA to engage alumni through innovative events and community-building programs that make a difference and bring the entire NYU community together. Meritorious Service Awards, also given annually, are presented to respected and distinguished graduates of any school, college, or division of NYU who have demonstrated extraordinary service and continuing devotion to their alma mater.
