Dear Ms. Story:

Congratulations! I am delighted to join Dean Matthew Santirocco in saluting you on being named a University Honors Scholar. By this designation, we salute our top-ranking baccalaureate candidates who have emerged as exceptional scholars in an undergraduate community representing the most talented men and women ever to attend New York University.

As an Honors Scholar, you will receive an individually inscribed Founders Day Cerfiticate in recognition of your academic achievements and a distinctive gold tassel adorned with the New York University Honors Scholar emblem in cloisonné. Gold tassels, which are to be worn in place of the standard tassel at your Commencement Exercises, will be mailed to your local address on record with the University Registrar.

I look forward very much to our Commencement Exercises to be held in Washington Square Park on the morning of Thursday, May 13, when our entire University community will gather to salute the extraordinary Class of 2004. All the best!

Sincerely,

John Sexton
