Alan Schwarz, a reporter for The New York Times, has
twice been nominated for the Pulitzer Prize for his
dozens of high-profile articles that have exposed the
epidemic of sports-related concussions. His stories
have helped uncover the high rates of dementia
among retired National Football League players,
unsafe conditions on high school fields, and
concussion-related disorders among female youth
athletes in soccer and basketball. His 2010
investigation into the dark cave of football helmets led
immediately to ongoing investigations by the U.S.
Consumer Product Safety Commission and the Federal
Trade Commission. A graduate of Scarsdale High
School, Schwarz returns to Scarsdale to present:
