On Wednesday, April 3, 2024, the Fairfield Awards Dinner will honor five individuals who have been exceptional in their commitment to Fairfield University and its students. The dinner will be held at Cipriani 42nd Street in New York City, with proceeds directed to the University’s Alumni Multicultural Scholarship Fund and other endowment scholarships, helping students realize their full potential, regardless of economic or social barriers.

Since 1988, this event has been a celebration of Fairfield University and has raised more than $21 million for the Alumni Multicultural Scholarship Fund and other endowed scholarships at Fairfield. 

Continuing to recognize professional achievement, outstanding leadership, and volunteer commitment to Fairfield, this year’s Fairfield Awards Dinner will honor: Nancy Clegg Altobello ’80, Alumni Professional Achievement Award; Timothy E. Lane ’85, P’24, ’16, Alumni Service Award; Janet A. Canepa ’82, Distinguished Faculty/Staff Administrator Award; and Jason Beckwith and Alexis Dunbar Beckwith P’23, Parent Leadership Award.

Adrienne Johnson ’91 and Trish Comey Preston ’80 will co-chair the Fairfield Awards Dinner. Johnson currently serves as head of internal audit and SOX at Apollo Global Management, and is serving her fourth term as an Awards Dinner co-chair. Preston is a former senior vice president, MasterCard. This will be Comey’s third year co-chairing the event.
