Donor Enrollment Drive: LiveOnNY

JOIN US for our Donor Enrollment Drive and sign up to help save lives in honor of former
Dominican University New York grad, Lauren Shields. A childhood heart transplant recipient and,
later, a kidney recipient, Lauren had a lifelong passion of advocacy for donation. Her work led
to legislation in New York named "Lauren's Law," which helped increase donor registration rates
at DMVs. She worked as a Community and Public Affairs Liaison at LiveOnNY, raising awareness
and providing education for donation.

💙 Her legacy lives on in the lives she touched and through her gift of donation as a tissue donor.  💙

Searching for Sincerity: A New Solo Play by Rohina Malik

Featured Playwright

Searching for Sincerity

Written and performed by Rohina Malik, critically acclaimed Chicago playwright

Free and Open to the Public

Date: Tuesday, October 27

Time: 2:15 to 3:30 PM

Location: Fury Lecture Hall, Prusmack Center, Dominican University New York

"My daughter Sarah is not just my daughter, she's my best friend. In the holiest places around the globe, I prayed for her to get married. Finally, that prayer was answered. So why was my relationship with my precious daughter falling apart?"

What should have been the best year of a mother's life becomes her hardest. At her lowest point, a powerful dream sends her on an unexpected journey through Morocco and Egypt.

Searching for Sincerity is an intimate, inspiring storytelling experience about mental health, spiritual journeys, and the art of letting go.

Please join us & celebrate our 2026 honorees:

Iron Workers Local 417

We are proud to honor the Hauser Bros., Inc., whose legacy spans three generations of leadership, and the Ironworkers Local 417, the backbone of construction across New York's Hudson Valley. Our honorees have provided decades of dedication and leadership. Their enduring impact has helped shape both our local community and the greater Hudson Valley region.

As we mark the 25th anniversary of the tragedy of September 11, 2001, we are especially grateful for the opportunity to honor the ironworkers union for the unwavering dedication and extraordinary efforts of its members in the aftermath of 9/11. Their skill, courage, and commitment during one of our nation's most difficult times exemplify the values of service and resilience that continue to define their union today.
