NYU Wagner will hold a naming ceremony for The Rudin Family Forum for Civic Dialogue, in honor of the Rudin family's leadership gift to the school. Alumni are invited to join the Rudin family; NYU Trustees and leaders; Wagner faculty, students, and alumni; and representatives of NYC educational, cultural, and other nonprofit organizations - all of whom are gathering to dedicate the Rudin Family Forum for Civic Dialogue, the Wagner School's largest public space and home to several hundred events each year on a wide range of public issues. NYU President John Sexton, Dean Schall, and Bill Rudin will all speak briefly at this event, which will honor the Rudin family's multigenerational partnership with NYU. The dedication will be held on at 5:30 pm on Monday, April 9, preceded by a film screening of "The Lew Rudin Way" at 4:30. For more info contact Kate Druesedow.

Both offered insights and advice to undergraduates and young alumni interested in their particular fields of public service.
