President Shapiro will be honored by members of the USG on Saturday during the Willie Nelson concert on Cannon Green.
USG president Joe Kochan '02 and former USG president PJ Kim '01 will present remarks between the opening and main acts of the concert.
Before Willie Nelson takes the stage at 5:30 p.m., the two USG presidents — Kochan and Kim — will be joined by the four class presidents to present a gift to Shapiro.
Known for his eclectic music taste varying from opera to contemporary, Shapiro has said he is a long-time fan of Willie Nelson.
During the September board of trustees meeting in which he announced his retirement, Shapiro quoted Nelson's song "I've climbed many mountaintops, but I've many more to climb" to express his feelings as he retires from the presidency.
Given during a performance of one of his favorite performers, Kochan said the time and circumstances of this concert provide the perfect venue to honor the University's outgoing president.
