New York Club Holds Joseph Wharton Awards
 On September 27, the Wharton Club
of New York drew its active membership
to honor four of Wharton’s
most prominent alumni at the Joseph
Wharton Awards Dinner. The guests of
honor were alumni Jon M. Huntsman,
W’59, chairman of Huntsman Corp., Steven A. Cohen, W’77, chairman and
founder of SAC Capital Advisors LLC, Caren S. Franzini, C’80, WG’84,
CEO of the New Jersey Economic
Development Authority, and Aditya
Mittal, W’96, CFO of ArcelorMittal.
The awards, which recognize exceptional
leaders within the alumni community,
began in 1972 and served as the
premier business gala in New York until
1991. The event was revitalized in 2006
with a successful sold-out dinner at the
Rainbow Room.
This year’s dinner, held at the Pierre,
built on last year’s success. The event chair was Wharton alumnus Robert
Wolf, W’84, chairman and CEO of
UBS Americas, and the president of the
Wharton Club of New York is alumnus Kenneth Beck, WG’87, president of
Beck Enterprises.
Huntsman was presented the
Joseph Wharton Award for Lifetime
Achievement. This award recognizes
alumni who have had a tremendous
positive and sustained impact on
business and society over the course of
their careers.
Cohen was presented the Joseph
Wharton Award for Leadership, which
recognizes alumni who embody the
highest standards of leadership in both
business and society.
Franzini was presented the Joseph
Wharton Award for Social Impact,
which recognizes alumni who have had
the greatest impact in public service, social
enterprise or philanthropy.
Mittal was presented the Joseph
Wharton Award for Young Leadership.
This award recognizes alumni who, early
in their careers, have demonstrated
the greatest potential for leadership and
lasting impact.
