UB alumni hold key New York roles
B grads are at the right hand of New York’s mayor.
Brian J. Thomson, ’73, was deputy commissioner in the Office of the Mayor’s Community Assistance Unit for Mayor Rudolph Giuliani. The Sept. 11 terrorist attacks put Brian front and center in the whole rescue, relief and assistance effort. Thomson is being honored by UB alumni on March 21 at the Café Centro, 6-8 p.m. reception, in New York's MetLife Building.
Dennis Walcott, with his bachelor’s and master’s degrees from UB in the early 1970s, is Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg’s deputy mayor for policy. Walcott was president of the New York Urban League before joining Bloomberg.
