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.
"My dream is to work for a financial firm in New York City. I want to be a successful woman in finance and encourage other women to keep pushing forward. With this scholarship that you have provided, I will be able to continue an enriching education while striving for my dream."
