Stephen Millen was honored with a Distinguished Alumni Award during Wayne State's 29th annual College of Fine, Performing and Communication Arts awards ceremony. Millen, vice president and general manager of the Detroit Symphony Orchestra, was one of three honorees. Other recipients included: Jack Kay, provost and vice chancellor for academic affairs at the University of Michigan-Flint; and actor Ernie Hudson, best known for his role in the 1984's "Ghostbusters." The awards allow colleges and departments to honor alumni whose achievements are conspicuous within their chosen fields," said John D. Vander Weg, associate dean, College of Fine, Performing and Communication Arts. "(Millen's) success as a high-level administrator in one of the top-notch orchestras in the country is something that should be recognized and honored." A photo of Millen is included.
