2020 Groat and Alpern Awards

This year we honor Kathleen Weslock, MILR ‘83 and Barry Beck, B.S. ‘90 for their professional accomplishments and outstanding service and support to the ILR School. The awards celebration, scheduled for April 23, 2020, has been cancelled due to public health concerns regarding COVID-19 (novel coronavirus).

Whether pursuing a traditional ILR career or another path, the mission of the ILR School - "Advancing the World of Work" - touches all of the alumni. You help expand ILR's reach through your diverse careers. As ambassadors, you are telling the world about the ILR School every day.
