Archival materials for the President’s Business Council honoree video<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

By collecting, preserving, and making available institutional records of permanent value, the University Archives<\/a> serves the administration and community of the University of Scranton. This summer, staff from the University\u2019s office of Events & Conference Services visited the Archives in search of materials for the 15th annual President\u2019s Business Council<\/a> award dinner. This gala<\/a>, taking place tonight at The Pierre in New York City, recognizes individuals who have achieved excellence in their fields and who have demonstrated extraordinary compassion for others. The President\u2019s Business Council seeks to provide meaningful networking opportunities for alumni and friends, as well as mentoring and career opportunities for current students. In addition, since the inaugural dinner, over $11 million has been generated for the Presidential Scholarship Endowment Fund, which supports full-tuition, merit-based scholarships for talented students who will become leaders of vision and integrity.<\/p>\n

One of this year\u2019s honorees, Rev. Bernard R. McIlhenny, S.J., arrived in Scranton in 1958 to serve as the fourth headmaster of Scranton Preparatory School. Known to many as \u201cFather Mac,\u201d he was appointed dean of admissions at the University in 1966 and, over a 31 year tenure, is credited with admitting more than two-thirds of the University\u2019s living alumni. He is currently dean of admissions emeritus and serves as minister of the Scranton Jesuit Community. University Archives staff gathered\u00a0materials for a video that will be presented at tonight\u2019s gala. A selection of these materials and other documents on Fr. McIlhenny can be viewed in our digital collections<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s second recipient of the President\u2019s Medal is Frank J. Dubas, Jr. ’75. This past May, Frank retired as Deloitte\u2019s global managing partner for Sovereign Financial Institutions (SFI). Over a 42-year career, Frank held a number of client service leadership roles and built a distinguished track record of service to many multinational clients. During his tenure, many Scranton graduates were hired at Deloitte and benefited from Frank\u2019s mentorship. A native of Jessup, Pa., Frank and his wife, Marigrace, reside in New Canaan, Ct., and have three children: Megan, Rob and Paul. Frank\u2019s experiences as a University student were highlighted in an alumni article for the Fall 2015<\/a> issue of the Scranton Journal.<\/p>\n
