Leslie Griffy 06 Apr 2020 Every year the Santa Clara University Alumni Association take a moment to celebrate those who exemplify SCU values of competence, conscience, and compassion. This year, educator and author Tracy Langley ’97 earns recognition for her service to others with the Alumni Association’s Ignatian Award. This recognition goes to those who best live by St. Ignatius of Loyola’s instruction to serve: “Go forth—and set the world on fire.” Vicki Pope ’77 works tirelessly for Santa Clara—serving on the Board of Fellows to raise money for scholarships and on the alumni board of directors. She also finds time to volunteer to read to kindergartners, support Filoli Gardens, and bake birthday cakes for foster kids. The Alumni Association is bestowing on her the Paul L. Locatelli, S.J. Award for service to the University. Paul Neilan ’70, senior associate alumni director, has dedicated 53 years to his fellow Broncos—managing the graduation picnic, Alumni Family Scholarship, and more. Fittingly, the Alumni Association is awarding him with an honor named for Louis I. Bannan, S.J., its founder and one of Santa Clara’s most dedicated supporters.
