ScHoLARSHIP BeneFIT DInneR 2014
APRIL 7, 2014
Trustees, alumni, faculty, students and friends gathered at Tribeca’s legendary Odeon for New York Law School’s first annual Scholarship Benefit Dinner. Hosted by Marc Lasry ’84, it was a wonderful evening celebrating New York Law School’s tradition of giving back to help the next generation achieve academic and career success. Over $400,000 in critical scholarship funds—far exceeding the minimum goal—was raised! We plan to make this an annual tradition that will grow in attendance and impact as we approach our 125th anniversary in 2016.
