Basking Ridge, NJ - The Tri-County Scholarship Fund (TCSF) will honor Basking Ridge resident Robert Cohen with the Hall of Fame Award at its 43rd annual Awards Dinner, to be held on Monday, Oct. 28, at The Legacy Castle in Pompton Plains. “We are honored to recognize Robert Cohen with the Hall of Fame Award for his remarkable career achievements and his commitment to advancing education,” said Prudence Pigott, TCSF president. “His leadership and innovative spirit inspire our scholarship students to strive for excellence.”
At the event, Cohen will be introduced by NJIT President Teik Lim. Prior to the program, NJIT will host a pre-reception for NJIT supporters and for the Tri-County high school students in attendance.
Cohen leads efforts at Stryker to enhance surgical procedures through advanced technologies, including robotics, navigation and digital health care solutions. With over 35 years in the medical device industry, Cohen has pioneered innovations in orthopedics, joint replacement and spinal implants. His extensive patent portfolio and global speaking engagements underscore his influence in the field.
Cohen holds a bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering and master’s degrees in engineering management and mechanical engineering from NJIT. He also serves as a Fellow of both the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering and the National Academy of Inventors.
The annual Awards Dinner is TCSF’s largest fund-raising event, celebrating individuals and organizations that embody the values of education and community service. Funds raised at the dinner support scholarships for financially disadvantaged students in Morris, Passaic, and Sussex counties, enabling them to attend high-performing and safe and independent schools.
Since its founding in 1981, TCSF has awarded over 38,000 scholarships, amounting to more than $38 million.
Also to be recognized at the dinner will be Vincent Tizzio of Red Bank, who is chief executive officer of Axis Insurance.
