October 8, 2020 – For the past six years, the Rev. James Lackenmier, C.S.C. Award for Achievement & Leadership has been presented to a member of the King's College community who has achieved excellence in his or her field, who has demonstrated exceptional philanthropy and high ethical standards, and who embodies the spirit of King's College. Originally scheduled for October 21 in New York City, the current environment precludes the College from proceeding with this year’s program as planned. Rather than celebrating one individual this year with a presentation of the Lackenmier Award, the past six recipients and the award’s namesake have joined together to rally support for King’s students in need. Rev. James Lackenmier, C.S.C., together with Timothy Morris ’64 (2014), Richard J. Pinola ’67 (2015), Allan M. Kluger (2016), Glenn Tyranski ’84 (2017), Thomas R. Smith ’77 (2018), and David Selingo ’89 (2019) represent the best of King’s and are lending their names and support to this worthwhile cause.
