RIT’s College of Business to Establish Alumni Wall of Fame

Selection into the Wall of Fame is based on several factors including professional success, community involvement and sustained support to the vitality of RIT.

In addition to the six inductees, Russell Schwartzbeck will be honored for his achievements as a recent graduate. In 1997, Schwartzbeck earned a bachelor’s degree in finance and now works for Northwestern Mutual Financial Network as a financial representative. He is being recognized as a promising young alumnus who remains active in the community and at RIT.

The Alumni Wall of Fame becomes the latest installment to a long-standing tradition at the College of Business. Each year, members of the graduating class offer a gift to the school in gratitude for the contributions made to their education. Throughout the school year, students conduct various fundraisers to help make their gift possible.

"We want visitors to the College of Business to know that our alumni are out there leading the way in the business world," says Jennifer Reginelli, class gift co-chair. "We also want to encourage current students by providing them with role models that aspire high ideals. Someday, we too can be on that wall of fame."
