Academic Laureate
With a history spanning more than 40 years, The University at Albany Foundation's Citizen Laureate Awards Dinner has honored more than 100 outstanding Capital Region leaders in business, industry, government, and academics, each of whom has helped transform our region in distinctive ways. One of the premier black-tie galas in the Capital Region, it is a signature fundraising event for UAlbany student scholarships.
With a history spanning more than 40 years, The University at Albany Foundation's Citizen Laureate Awards have maintained their original intent, which was to strengthen the ties between the academic and business communities.
“I’m a criminal justice and political science major. I’m also doing a minor in communication. My life dream is to work for justice. I want to play a pivotal role in helping people of color achieve their rights. This scholarship that you have provided me with will assist me in pursuing an enriching education.”
