Annual Donor Recognition Dinner
6.
This year the Annual Donor Recognition Dinner was held on Valentine’s Day 2016. It was a night when Lehman College’s generous friends and
alumni were showing their love for their alma mater. First the donors met for a reception in the Fine Arts Building where they enjoyed a private
viewing of the Lehman College Art Gallery’s two recent shows Architectural Intersections and Landmarks of New York (see p. 36) before attending a special performance by the Polish Baltic Symphony, who performed works by Wagner and Chopin.
