On Friday, May 19, the Gabelli School of Business

On Friday, May 19, the Gabelli School of Business hosted the Lincoln Center Awards to celebrate undergraduate students at our Lincoln Center campus who have excelled academically, exhibited outstanding leadership and service qualities, and have contributed positively to the Gabelli School community.

Hussein Chebli, GABELLI '23, received the Dean's Award, which recognizes a student who has exemplified the spirit of leadership called forth in a Jesuit Education: a leader who united others behind a common cause to accomplish goals that could not otherwise be attained.

Kaitlyn Bailis, GABELLI '23, received three awards. The first was to highlight her academic achievement as a Marketing Scholar. The second was in recognition of her service on the Dean's Council, on which she worked with an advisory group that assisted the administration in understanding student needs in order to shape program improvements. Kaitlyn was also awarded the Alumni Chair award - an actual Fordham chair with her name engraved on it. This is presented to a senior who inspires their peers; who achieves excellence in intellectual and extracurricular endeavors; and who makes contributions that will outlast one’s time as an undergraduate.

We would like to congratulate these students as well as the other 40 students who were presented with awards for their achievements.
