David Rosner was honored at a CCNY luncheon that named ten “David Rosner Fellows” in the Colin Powell School for Civic and Global Leadership.

Monsanto Co et al., he has funded two years of full tuition for these ten students, many of whom come from low-income and minority backgrounds.

Monsanto Co et al.in which Monsanto was required to pay 698 million dollars for its role in polluting local waterways with PCBs, a toxic compound previously used in a variety of consumer goods.
