On May 15, University Trustee Jonathan S. Lavine ’88 received the 14th annual Gershom Mendes Seixas Award from Columbia/Barnard Hillel. The award is given to those who have made outstanding contributions to Jewish life at Columbia.

Bollinger said, “Jonathan Lavine is a joy to us on the trustees. We depend upon his enthusiasm. Every day, we’re grateful for his involvement.”

Held in the Low Rotunda, the event raised more than $1.3 million thanks to a matching gift of $500,000 from Lavine and Robert K. Kraft ’63, setting a record for the largest gift in the award’s history. Kraft, who also presented the award, spoke about Lavine’s passion for social justice.
