President Nemerowicz Receives
Rosoff Award for Promoting Diversity

President Gloria Nemerowicz received the Arnold Z. Rosoff Award for outstanding individual achievement in promoting diversity on 21 March at a luncheon co-sponsored by the Greater Boston Chamber of Commerce and the Ad Club of Boston.

Accepting the award in the main ballroom of Boston’s Fairmount Copley Plaza Hotel before 500 guests representing the largest business organizations and institutions in the city, President Nemerowicz said, “I am honored to receive this award, which I share with everyone who works or studies at Pine Manor College. We are all honored to receive this recognition of our efforts to build and sustain a diverse learning community.”

Created in 1996 to promote greater diversity in Boston advertising and business, the Rosoff award recognizes diversity initiatives that have a positive economic and social impact on an organization or company. The award is named in honor of Arnold Z. Rosoff, founder of Arnold Worldwide and an avid supporter of diversity in the workplace.

As she spoke, President Nemerowicz introduced five students from PMC: Cassie Du Gay, a first year Psychology major from Cherryfield, Maine; Naila Iram, a senior majoring in Business Administration from Rampur, India; Nadege Manigat, a senior majoring in Theatre from Brockton, Mass; Katherine Scanlon, a senior majoring in Early Childhood Education from Brookleville, Maryland; and Donnaree Wynter, a senior majoring in Communications from Brockton, Mass.

The Greater Boston Chamber of Commerce represents approximately 1,700 businesses of all sizes from virtually every industry and profession in the region. It seeks to promote diversity in every aspect of its work and throughout the business, government, and civic life of the region.

The Ad Club of Boston is the trade organization for the New England Communications industry.
