Emory University has awarded its highest alumni honor, the Emory Medal, this year to two lawyers, David Adelman, 89L, and Richard Hubert, 60L, for their service to Emory and their communities.

Adelman, now a partner at Reed Smith in New York, was the U.S. ambassador to Singapore from 2010 to 2013, where he started the U.S.-Singapore Strategic Partnership Dialogue and a regional training program to address health, educational and environmental needs, earning a U.S. State Department Superior Honor Award and the U.S. Navy Distinguished Service Medal. At Reed Smith, he advises on trans-Pacific trade and investment. He also teaches international relations at New York University and is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations.
