Bart Lawson, a 1992 graduate of the Paul McGhee Division of the NYU School of Continuing and Professional Studies (NYU-SCPS), was a distinguished member of the School's alumni community. During his lifetime, he made generous contributions that funded financial aid for McGhee students. He served on the Council for the Future of NYU-SCPS and participated in helping our students to better understand the healthcare field through lectures and private conversations. Outside of NYU-SCPS, Lawson dedicated his energies to solving healthcare problems the world over. He was president and executive director of the Greater New York Healthcare Facilities Association, and served on the transition teams of Mayor Rudolph Giuliani and Governor George Pataki before being appointed to serve on the Governor's Medicaid Task Force. He also served as ambassador–at–large to the United States Grenadian Mission to the United Nations, Grenada. Using his resources and expertise, he worked tirelessly to make the world a better place by dedicating his energies to solving healthcare problems.
Upon Lawson's premature passing, NYU-SCPS established this award to pay tribute to his legacy, and to offer the members of the NYU-SCPS community the opportunity to recognize these qualities and dedication to service in others.
