Honoring Distinguished Alumni
The PINNACLE Society
The PINNACLE Society was formed in 1989 to recognize the University’s most distinguished and accomplished alumni. Recipients of The PINNACLE are chosen by past inductees. Inductees to The PINNACLE Society demonstrate success or distinction in one’s chosen field of endeavor, significant contributions to society and humanity through public or humanitarian service and outstanding service to the University or reflection of the unique character of FDU in one’s life. Annually, PINNACLE Society honorees are inducted into The PINNACLE Society during a ceremony held during the Summer.
