This year’s Eggers honorees are Larry Bashe ’66, G’68, Helen Lefkowitz ’60 and Fred Silverman ’58.  The Melvin A. Eggers Senior Alumni Award honors alumni who graduated more than 50 years ago and demonstrate outstanding leadership and service to society, along with loyalty and service to Syracuse University.

Larry Bashe

New this year, the winners of the Eggers Award, the George Arents Award and the Generation Orange Award will be honored during the inaugural Syracuse University Alumni Awards Celebration on Friday, Oct. 19, during Orange Central, SU’s annual homecoming and reunion weekend.

Bashe served on the Syracuse University Alumni Association Board of Directors from 2004-12, including two years as president. He was also a member of the University’s Board of Trustees and the advisory boards of the Maxwell School and the Burton Blatt Institute. Bashe was chair of his 50th reunion committee during Orange Central 2016.

Helen Lefkowitz

Lefkowitz, a founding partner of the law firm of Lefkowitz and Poulos in New York City, focused her career on issues of domestic violence, child abuse and juvenile delinquency. Lefkowitz and her late husband, Joel ’58, founded the SU Alumni Club in Suffolk County.

Silverman is the only person to direct programming at the NBC, ABC and CBS television networks and was executive producer of “Matlock,” “In the Heat of the Night” and “Diagnosis Murder.” He is president of The Fred Silverman Company, a production and consulting business, and a member of the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences Hall of Fame.

Orange Central 2018 will bring together the entire University community Oct. 18-21.

The evening will culminate in an after-party with live music, drinks, food, and desserts in Schine’s Panasci Lounge.

Tickets for the cocktail party and awards celebration cost $30. Generation Orange alumni pricing for graduates of the last 10 years is $20. Tickets for the cocktail party, awards celebration, and special after-party cost $75, and $50 (Generation Orange).
