The Chancellor’s Medal is given to individuals in honor of their extraordinary contributions to the University, to their areas of expertise and/or to the community, recognizing qualities to which the University urges SU students to aspire.
Previous honorees include Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr.; “The Syracuse Eight”; renowned acting and activist couple Ruby Dee and the late Ossie Davis; Nobel Peace Prize recipient Shirin Ebadi; the late U.S. Sen. Daniel Patrick Moynihan; the late, eminent American composer Aaron Copland; The New Yorker magazine columnist and best-selling author Kenneth Auletta; and former Secretary of Health and Human Services Donna Shalala.
The award will be conferred at a formal ceremony in New York City on a date to be determined.
