Distinguished Citizen Award Winners

On September 24, 1980, the SUNY Board of Trustees approved
the establishment of a Distinguished Citizen Award Program whereby
the Board of Trustees would honor citizens of New York State who
exemplify the highest standards of public service and the Chancellor
requested to develop guidelines for the implementation of this program.
The first such award was given in April 1981.
