Alumni of the Year

Each year, John F. Kennedy University selects five alumni — one representing each school of the University — to honor as the University's Alumni of the Year.

“We welcome this opportunity to applaud these individuals who are excellent role models for both our alumni and students. Each has gone on from JFK University to apply the knowledge and insights gained to the benefit of their fields, society, as well as themselves.”

Steve Stargardter
President, JFK University
