The John Jay Dinner raises money for The John Jay National Scholars Program, which provides financial support and special programming to enhance the academic and extracurricular experiences of outstanding students. John Jay Scholars distinguish themselves through the originality and independence of their thinking and their rich and varied record of accomplishments.
This special academic enhancement program is centered around panels, discussions and presentations by leading professors, professionals and individuals from a variety of fields, along with special research opportunities. The program is designed to promote intellectual growth, leadership development and global awareness; to extend and enhance previous academic and extracurricular experiences; and to motivate students to make a difference in the world.
The John Jay Dinner has honored more than 200 alumni, parents and friends since 1978. This year will mark the 38th annual John Jay Dinner.
