The inaugural Gwennies Award Luncheon, hosted by the Gwen M. Greene Career & Internship Center<\/a><\/strong>, was held Friday afternoon in the Douglass Ballroom in Frederick Douglass Commons. The awards honor partners who exemplify the center\u2019s values\u2014respect, collaboration, diversity and inclusion, betterment, and purpose.<\/p>\n

University president and CEO Joel Seligman and Greene \u201965, a longstanding Board of Trustees member, were among the speakers. Joe Testani, assistant dean and executive director of the Career Center, said it is Greene’s “immense passion” for the University and the center that inspires him.<\/p>\n

“The work that we do collectively at the University supports the lives of our students, and that’s what gets me excited day in and day out,” Testani says. “These awards celebrate those partnerships.”<\/p>\n

A special award was presented to Richard Feldman, dean of the College for the past decade, for his commitment and support of the Career Center. Feldman is stepping down at the end of this academic year.<\/p>\n
