President
Sexton Continues
Regional Tour
Last
fall, the Office of University Development and Alumni Relations launched
a series of 17 regional receptions to introduce President John Sexton
to NYU alumni, parents and friends across the country. Building on the
success of the fall tour, President Sexton made his final visits of the
academic year to five locations in California, followed by receptions
in Boston and Washington, D.C.
California
President Sexton kicked off his visit to California with a luncheon for
over 50 guests at L'Auberge Del Mar Resort in San Diego on April 27. Later
that evening, President Sexton greeted guests at the Four Seasons Resort
in Newport Beach as NYU alumni gathered in Orange County.
On April
28, the tour of California continued with lunch for 50 alumni, parents
and friends at the Garden Court Hotel in Palo Alto, followed by a large
reception attended by over 100 guests at the City Club of San Francisco
in the Pacific Stock Exchange Tower. Jack Ehlers, MBA '98 and San Francisco
Regional Group Leader, attended the event to mingle with fellow alumni.

The final reception in California was held on April 29 for over 200 Los Angeles-area alumni, parents, and friends at the Beverly Hills Hotel. Stern Alumni in Los Angeles Regional Co-Chairs Ilana Sparrow, MBA '00, and Kate Nelson, MBA '00, used the opportunity to meet with fellow alumni and discuss developing the Group and expanding its activities.
"I
really enjoyed the Los Angeles reception," said David Kelly, MBA
'90. "President Sexton was a warm and engaging speaker. The food,
drink and atmosphere were ideal (as was the weather). I even met some
parents of newly enrolled students and parents of alumni! And if you like
celebrities - film director John Landis, and Les Moonves, President and
CEO of CBS, were both in attendance."

Boston
After a snowstorm in mid-February forced the cancellation of the Boston
reception, the event was rescheduled for May 6. Held at the Four Seasons
Hotel on Boylston Street, President Sexton welcomed over 100 alumni, parents
and friends. Chris Epperson, MBA '98 and member of the Stern Alumni in
Boston Regional Group, attended the event and met with fellow Stern graduates.

D.C.
The final regional reception was held in Washington, D.C., on May 20 at
the Four Seasons Hotel on Pennsylvania Avenue. Once again, over 100 alumni,
parents and friends attended the event to meet President Sexton and members
of the NYU community. Seth Balsam, MBA '97 and Chair of the Stern Alumni
in Washington, D.C., Regional Group, and Jit Saha, MBA '99, were among
the attendees.
