About

Each year, several undergraduate students are awarded the Lawrence C. Nussdorf Student Award. The award is named for the late Lawrence C.

The Lawrence C. Nussdorf Student Award is a complement to the Lawrence C. Nussdorf Urban Leadership Prize, which also recognizes urban leaders around the globe.
