Making up for lost time due to Covid, the Stonehill Alumni Council presented the Francis X. Dillon ’70 Alumni Service Award for 2021 to Theodore Riordan ’87 and the Graduate of the Last Decade Award for 2020 to Jason Lynch ’11. The Council presented Thomas Bogan ’72 with the Outstanding Alumnus Award for 2019.

“This past August, Stonehill College celebrated the start of its 76th academic year. Throughout the College’s history, our alumni have consistently exemplified Stonehill’s mission through their remarkable achievements and contributions. Tonight, we see this clearly in our Alumni Award recipients—Ted, Jason and Tom,” said Doug Smith, vice president for advancement, at the awards reception.

Congratulations to our alumni award recipients!
