This year’s Trustees Scholarship Award Gala at Cipriani 42nd Street in New York City raised an impressive $1 million to help support deserving students at Iona University.
The Legacy Award was presented to Peter G. Riguardi ’83, ’16H, chairman and president, New York Tri-state Region, Jones Lang LaSalle Brokerage, Inc.; and Karen D. Seitz ’84, founder and managing director, Fusion Partners Global, LLC. The Blessed Edmund Rice Humanitarian Award was presented to Dr. William and Kathleen Magee, co-founders of Operation Smile.
“The funds raised will change lives and families for generations, as students are afforded the opportunity to benefit from a transformational Iona education,” said President Seamus Carey, Ph.D. “Thank you to all who continue to support the students and mission of Iona in their generous giving.”
