Kenneth Kirschner '75 will receive the ILR School's 2026 Groat Award and Stephen H. Goodman '65 will receive the 2026 Alpern Award on March 26 at The Plaza Hotel in New York City.
"Kenneth Kirschner and Steve Goodman are both accomplished alumni, strong supporters of the ILR School, and very deserving winners of this year's Groat and Alpern Awards," said Alex Colvin, Ph.D. '99, ILR's Kenneth F. Kahn '69 Dean and Martin F. Scheinman '75, M.S. '76, Professor of Conflict Resolution.
"Ken has had a most distinguished career as an employment and labor law practitioner. I have very much appreciated his insights and the thoughtfulness of his advice as we seek to ensure that ILR continues its leading role in educating future practitioners in the field," Colvin said.
"Steve's career has been international in scope," added Colvin. "He has brought back to ILR a wonderfully global perspective and passion for encouraging and supporting student engagement in perspective-expanding international experiences."
