Sonnet and Ian McKinnon received the Distinguished Service Award. The McKinnons are the lead donors for the new Anderson building, which, once completed, will be known as the McKinnon Center for Management.
The Faculty Community Leadership Award honored Marketing Professor John Benavidez, who in addition to being a long-time faculty member is also an Anderson graduate.
Congratulations to all, and special thanks to Felicia Rodriquez for planning a wonderful event for all the attendees.
