Celebration of Scholarships
A look back at our annual event celebrating UAlbany donors, the scholarships they've established and the impact their generosity has had on our student scholarship recipients.
We look forward to celebrating our scholarship donors and student scholars at our annual event. While we'll miss seeing you in person this year, we hope you enjoy looking through photos and reminiscing about years past. A gallery and links to download photos featured in the slideshow are also available.
