Alumni Club Awards

Charles R. Fazio (C’57) exemplified distinguished service to the Georgetown University Alumni Association as past president, chair of the Annual Fund, as well as club and class leader. A John Carroll Award recipient, he was an innovator in alumni programming and a visionary in the development of a more inclusive alumni awards structure to recognize volunteer leaders locally, regionally, and nationally. In 2007, the Club Volunteer of the Year Award was aptly renamed in memory of Charles R. Fazio, to honor the memory of our departed friend, and fellow Hoya, Charlie.

Joseph A Riggs (C’55, M’59) has served Georgetown as a committed member of the Board of Governors, a devoted club and class leader, AAP interviewer, and as a Georgetown University Alumni Association president. Dennis Owen (F’51) has served on multiple Georgetown leadership boards (most recently the Board of Governors), as a passionate club leader, as an AAP interviewer, as well as a past Georgetown Alumni Association president. These two men embody the spirit of cura personalis and humble service to their alma mater and as such this award was renamed in their honor in 2017.
