LGAW 2025 is Over - But Lauder Love Doesn't End Here!

It's hard to believe, but the weekend came and went so quickly. Over 800 of you joined us over 3 days for 17 sub-events across 50+ locations. LGAW 2025 was a living, breathing reminder of the enduring power of Lauder Love - the energy, laughter, and connection that makes this community unlike any other. 

A very special thank you to Jo Carole and Ronald S. Lauder, the Lauder Institute, our sponsors, donors and all the amazing volunteers whose hard work made the weekend a resounding success. And thank you to everyone who joined us - in person and in spirit - for making LGAW 2025 unforgettable. We did this together.

We'd love to hear from you. Please take a few minutes to share your feedback in our LGAW survey, to make future events even better.

Help us keep the Lauder Love momentum going by tagging LIAA in your social media posts with the hashtag #lauderlove, offering to help host or organize events in your area, and reaching out to your regional ambassador or just someone you met at LGAW!

REMEMBERING LEONARD A. LAUDER 

WITH LAUDER LOVE AND GRATITUDE

The Lauder Institute community has lost its beloved co-founder, Leonard A. Lauder.  LIAA extends our profound condolences to his family, and especially his co-founder brother, Ronald S. Lauder.

It is not an understatement to say Leonard touched the lives of every single Lauder Institute alum, student, faculty and staff member since its creation in 1983. His vision to educate future global leaders and his financial generosity extended over four decades - as eloquently expressed in this Institute statement.   

Leonard believed in the strength of the Lauder alumni community from the beginning. Most classes remember him telling us  “look left, look right - these people will be your friends for life.”   And when a group of alumni wanted to create the LIAA, Leonard funded its incorporation, and later supported many LIAA all-alumni reunions. 

Most important, perhaps, is the love that he and Ronald modeled, and shared with us, that serves as the foundation of LauderLove itself.  We are all, indeed, family.

Thank you Leonard, we already miss you.  You changed our lives

If you would like to share your own memories and condolences you are invited to contribute to this formwhich will be shared with his family.
