Presented to an outstanding senior majoring in finance or accounting, the award recognizes a student "who has demonstrated a high level of academic achievement and intellectual honesty, and who possesses high promise for a successful career in business."

 

Ilnicki, who carries a 3.98 grade point average and plans to graduate in May 2011, is majoring in accounting and business administration, with a concentration in finance. He is also a four-year member of the Bluffton football team-as a wide receiver-and the Fellowship of Christian Athletes. He has been a resident advisor and a first-year seminar mentor on campus as well.

 

The son of Frederick and Marcia Ilnicki and a graduate of Brebeuf Jesuit Preparatory School, Ilnicki will receive the award Thursday, Nov. 11, at a dinner hosted by the Toledo Chapter of the FEI.
