John Perry Graduation Prize On September 11, 2001, NYU Law lost a special member of its community: John Perry (’89). John was a member of the New York City Police Department and on that day was planning to officially retire. He rushed to assist in the rescue efforts at the World Trade Center and perished in the fight. Perry was a civil activist in all areas of his life. His retirement from the police department meant the opportunity to pursue a dream of assisting plaintiffs in medical malpractice cases, tapping into the knowledge and experience of his father, a doctor. The Law School has established The John Perry Graduation Prize, which will be awarded each year to a graduating student who exemplifies and has shown commitment to all that Perry stood for. For more information about The John Perry Graduation Prize, please contact Meredith Celentano at (212) 998-6389; or meredith.celentano@nyu.edu. For more on the life of John Perry, see page 96.
