NYU Wagner establishes The James Delano Prize for Service Learning
In memory of James Delano, a Wagner student who passed away in early January, Wagner has established a fund which will directly support two student trips per year for service learning. The 2010 Wagner class gift campaign will support the Delano Prize, and we encourage alumni to contribute to the fund and help make travel and learning possible for future generations of Wagner students.
