Kathy Edersheim Wins Yale Medal

The Class of 1987 has its first Yale Medal winner!  Kathy Edersheim will be honored this fall at the Yale Assembly with the Yale Medal.  

Inaugurated in 1952, the Yale Medal is the highest award presented by the Association of Yale Alumni, conferred solely to honor outstanding individual service to the University. Each year's recipients reflect the range of service and leadership the AYA strives to recognize with this award.

The AYA honors these individuals for their remarkable contributions, and it recognizes that they do honor to Yale and to all of us in the alumni community by the ways in which they have chosen to render service back to our treasured community of scholars and friends.

Usually, the Yale Medal is awarded to older alumni who have devoted a lifetime of service to the University.  In Kathy's case, she is be honored (I suspect) for packing a lifetime of service into just a few years.  Kathy has been, among other things, the President of the Yale Club of New York City, the Chair of the AYA Board of Governors, and the founder and leader of the Yale Global Alumni Leadership Exchange. 

Congratulations Kathy!
