...Marty may not be Lohan-esque, but he sure is a looker:

Granoff

Martin J. Granoff, business executive
Doctor of Humane Letters (L.H.D.)


Granoff, a University trustee emeritus, is a veteran of the textile industry. He is the founder and chairman of Val D’Or, a knitwear manufacturer that merged with Cannon County Knitting Mills Inc. in 1995; vice chairman of Koret of California, which makes women’s brand-name clothing; and chairman, founder, director, and majority owner of National Textiles, a manufacturer of open-end and ring-spun cotton.

During his service as a University trustee, Granoff was a member of the Corporation committees on Advancement, Admission and Financial Aid, Budget and Finance, and Student Life. He also is an emeritus member of the Board of Directors of the Brown University Sports Foundation. Currently, Granoff chairs the University’s Creative Arts Advisory Board and the fundraising committee for the Creative Arts Center, a proposed 30,000-square-foot facility that will include space for interdisciplinary arts research by students and faculty. He also serves as a vice chair of Boldly Brown: Campaign for Academic Enrichment.

The parent of a member of Brown’s Class of 1993, Granoff spearheaded the Brown Hillel campaign to build the Glenn and Darcy Weiner Hillel Center, which was dedicated in February 2004.


Just think of the babies he could have with Ruth.

In The Future, We Will All Be Police Officers...

A Message Brought To You By Public Safety:

"We recommend programming the Brown DPS emergency number 401-863-4111 into your cellular phone to facilitate prompt reporting. Familiarize yourself with the locations of all the Emergency telephones on campus. During the evening hours, look for the blue light above these telephones. There are approximately 134 Emergency blue-light telephones across campus. All of these phones have emergency buttons that allow you to instantly communicate with a DPS Communications Control Officer.

We will continue to distribute safety awareness information."
