Feinberg, Esq., administrator of The One Fund Boston - a city- and state-sponsored charitable effort to raise money for the victims of the Boston Marathon bombing attack, served as Commencement speaker and was awarded an honorary Doctor of Laws degree. Feinberg previously, and most notably, served as the Special Master of the Federal September 11th Victim Compensation Fund of 2001. During his Commencement address, Feinberg urged graduates to embrace the challenges and opportunities that lay ahead of them. "If I have learned one lesson in my professional life dealing with unforeseen tragedy and misfortune, on 9/11, in the Gulf of Mexico, and now in Boston, it is this - take nothing for granted," said Feinberg. During the Commencement ceremonies, Curry College also awarded an honorary degree posthumously to Jerald S. Savage, who had been a longtime member of the Curry College Board of Trustees since 1996, and was the Treasurer of the Board at the time of his passing in August 2012. He was awarded an honorary Doctor of Public Administration Degree. Mr. Savage's wife, Sheryl Forman Savage, an alumna of the Curry College Class of 1999, accepted the honorary degree on his behalf.
