2021 Bernard Baruch Virtual Gala

This year, from the comfort and safety of your own home, we hope you will join us as we honor and present Neuberger Berman with The Bernard Baruch Award for Business and Civic Leadership accepted by George Walker, Chairman & CEO. Neuberger Berman’s commitment to equity, inclusion and diversity in the workplace is directly aligned with the mission of Baruch College. At Neuberger, they believe that equity at its core is about fairness. With the racial inequity many are facing today, now more than ever it is so important to lead by example and create an environment where many voices are heard, and everyone can flourish and be successful –a core value of Neuberger Berman from its inception. As a longtime champion of Baruch College through their recruitment efforts, we are proud to honor them and present them with this prestigious award.

As the effects of COVID-19 continue to impact our students, proceeds from the event will support Stand Up for Baruch, our $5 million initiative to address critical areas of urgent need, including financial aid, emergency grants, technology assistance, mental health services and career counseling.
