First Annual Jennine O'Reilly Conway Award

First annual Jennine O'Reilly-Conway '88 Award given to Elizabeth Feldman at the Initiatives for Women Dinner. The $500 award was initially funded by John Levato of the School of Business in honor of Jennine O'Reilly-Conway, a School of Business graduate who was stricken by diabetes while she was a student and lost her sight but returned to finish her program. She died in June 1996 from complications of diabetes after having spent years as an active volunteer for the blind and persons with diabetes. Levato funded the first award personally, and then endowed the award.
