Motivated by the global impact he has made in his second career as a world-class designer, as well as his philanthropic efforts at home, Jack Nicklaus was honored Jan. 19 with The Woodrow Wilson Award for Corporate Citizenship. The Wilson Award for Public Service was presented to financial market innovator Stephen Schwarzman.

With its Woodrow Wilson Awards, the center recognizes leaders in business and public service from around the world and across the political spectrum.

The Woodrow Wilson Award for Corporate Citizenship is given to executives who exemplify a commitment to the common good—beyond the bottom line. They are the people who demonstrate that private firms should be stellar citizens in their own neighborhoods, as well as in the world.

Past recipients of the Woodrow Wilson Awards for Corporate Citizenship include Alexander Dreyfoos of the Dreyfoos Co., Sherry Lansing of Paramount Pictures, Ross Perot Jr. and Ted Turner.

Schwarzman, co-founder, chairman and CEO of the Blackstone Group, is receiving the Woodrow Wilson Award for Public Service, given to individuals who have served with distinction in public life and have shown a commitment to seeking informed opinions and thoughtful views. In addition to overseeing one of the most successful investment and advisory firms in the world, Schwarzman recently accepted chairmanship of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.
