Lafayette's alumni volunteers were recognized for their dedicated service during the annual Alumni Volunteer Leadership dinner Sept. 13 in the new Pfenning Alumni Center. Sixteen alumni and nine classes and alumni chapters were honored for their outstanding service.
“The Volunteer Recognition Dinner gives us the opportunity to recognize and give special thanks to those who have been very active in support of our school,” says John Leone, director of Alumni Affairs. “We honor the best of our best.”
“The success of the recent Lafayette Leadership Campaign has been well documented, but our leadership role among institutions of higher learning means even greater challenges ahead,” Leone adds. “The support provided by the Lafayette alumni body is second to none, and because of it Lafayette will continue to excel and thrive.”
