2020 Excellence Awards: The Chaifetz School of Business Honors Students, Faculty and Staff

Each year, the Chaifetz School of Business honors outstanding members of its academic and professional communities at the annual Excellence Awards. Originally scheduled for May 1, unfortunately the 2020 awards ceremony was canceled due to COVID-19 restrictions. While the in-person event was unable to take place, the Chaifetz School wishes to congratulate 2020 Excellence Awards winners for their outstanding accomplishments.
