NYUAA Honors Seven Greats
at Fall 2007 Awards Dinner

The nominations have been reviewed and the winners selected! Join us as the New York University Alumni Association (NYUAA) proudly recognizes seven extraordinary alumni at the 2007 NYUAA Awards Dinner on November 8, 2007. NYU President John Sexton and NYUAA President Jonathan Herman (ARTS ’69, LAW ’73) invite all alumni to help honor the professional achievements, philanthropic contributions, and remarkable service to NYU that these seven honorees have displayed throughout the years.

The NYU Alumni Association Awards are extra special because the nominees are submitted by our alumni community. After parsing through all of the nominations, the NYUAA Awards committee, composed of representatives representing the broad spectrum of NYU schools, has chosen the following 2007 awards class:

Eugene J. Keogh Award for
Distinguished Public Service

Christopher H. Shays (STERN ’74, WAG ’78) United States congressman (R) from Connecticut
