The Kellogg School hosted its annual celebration of partnership and leadership on April 29 when it honored several dedicated alumni and friends at the Alumni Awards dinner.

“This evening is for the people who make this school great,” said Dean Dipak C. Jain in his introductory remarks in the James L. Allen Center. “These awardees are true Kellogg School ambassadors.”

The event recognized distinguished individuals who have given their time, energy, and expertise to the Kellogg School, and includes alumni as well as non-alumni friends. The Schaffner Award, The Kellogg Alumni Service Award and the Friends of Kellogg School of Management Award were given to nine individuals this year. Over 160 people were in attendance to honor the award winners during a dinner and ceremony.

The Schaffner Award is named for Joseph Schaffner, one of the founders of Hart, Schaffner & Marx Co., who firmly believed that higher education and culture help the practical person deal more intelligently with the problems of commerce. Kellogg created the Schaffner Award to honor the memory of the man whose vision created what is now the Kellogg School of Management, and to honor special alumni for their extraordinary contributions to the school. This year’s Schaffner Award recipients were Joseph Gutman ’81, Scott H. Filstrup ’67, and Wendy L. Lewis ’95.

The Kellogg Alumni Service Award recognizes the efforts of graduates who have promoted the Kellogg School throughout the world and who have shown their commitment to the continued progress of the school and the Kellogg community. These dedicated alumni have demonstrated their intention to maintain a lifelong friendship with the Kellogg School. This year’s Kellogg Alumni Award recipients were Yves L. Hanania ’94, Mark A. Shapiro ’80, and Lee Ann Scovil ’91.
