Five accomplished alumni were each presented a 2014 John Jay Award for distinguished professional achievement at the annual John Jay Awards Dinner, held at Cipriani 42nd Street on March 5. This year marked the 36th annual dinner; 195 honorees and 11 decades of alumni have been honored. The dinner raised $1.1 million for the John Jay National Scholars Program, which provides financial aid and special programming to enhance the academic and extracurricular experiences of outstanding students.

The 2014 honorees were Joyce Chang ’86, managing director, global head of fixed income research, J.P. Morgan; Dr. Robert J. Lefkowitz ’62, ’66 P&S, an investigator with the Howard Hughes Medical Institute and the James B. Duke Professor of Medicine and professor of biochemistry and chemistry at Duke University Medical Center; James L. Melcher ’61, founding partner, Balestra Capital; Michael S. Solender ’86, Americas vice chair and general counsel, Ernst & Young; and Mozelle W. Thompson ’76, ’81L, CEO, Thompson Strategic Consulting.
