For the eighth time in 10 years, a former Yale athlete is being honored by the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) for achieving distinction since graduating from college.

Lisa Rosenblum '75, former captain of the Yale women's tennis team, will receive a Silver Anniversary Award at the NCAA Convention in San Diego on Jan. 9. The award recognizes former student-athletes on the 25th anniversary of their graduation, based on both their collegiate athletic careers and their post-collegiate career achievement, including professional accomplishment and contributions to charitable and civic activities. Rosenblum is one of six individuals from across the country to win the honor this year.

Captain of the women's tennis team in both her junior and senior years, Rosenblum had a record-breaking career at Yale -- losing only two matches during her four years as a Bulldog. She won the Seven Sisters-Ivy League Championships her sophomore, junior and senior years, and was runner-up her freshman year. She won the New England Intercollegiates four consecutive years and was the Connecticut State Champion in her freshman and sophomore years. She garnered a 42-2 overall intercollegiate record and won the MVP Team Award her last two years.

Off the tennis court, Rosenblum was involved in many extracurricular activities. She served on the Residential College Student-Council for four years. In her junior year, she participated in the Elected Course of Study Committee, a group of faculty, administrators and select students who review all new courses in Yale College. She was also appointed to the Athletic Governing Board in her junior year. As a member of the Elected Teaching in Residential College Committee, Rosenblum helped review and select all seminars given in the residential colleges.

Rosenblum is currently senior vice president of government affairs and education at Cablevision Systems Corporation. Previously, she was commissioner and vice chair of the New York State Public Service Commission. During her term in that post, she chaired the Communications Committee of the National Association Regulatory Utility Commissioners (NARUC). Due to her work on NARUC, the U.S. State Department asked Rosenblum to advise the Czech Republic and Polish governments on setting up regulatory commissions on governing utility services. She also donated her time as a representative of the State Public Service Commission before Congress on the 1996 Telecommunications Act.

The other Eli athletes who received the NCAA Silver Anniversary Award are: Tone N. Grant '66 (football/lacrosse), Donald A. Schollander '68 (swimming and diving), Calvin Hill '69 (football), Dr. Kwaku Ohene-Frempong '70 (soccer/track and field), Kurt L. Schmoke '71 (football/lacrosse), Jack Ford '72 (football) and Lawrie Mifflin '73 (field hockey).
