Merck Chair Ken Frazier Receives Fordham-Stein Prize On Nov. 4, Fordham Law School presented Kenneth C. Frazier, executive chair of Merck & Co., with the 2022 Fordham-Stein Prize. At a moment of increasing social and political division in the country, Frazier used his platform to implore the audience of judges, academics, and leaders in practice to reflect on the power lawyers have to help others and to fight to make our country’s “sacred creeds” real for all Americans, no matter their background.
