Pinnacle Awards

The PINNACLE was introduced by Fairleigh Dickinson University in 1989 to formally recognize and acknowledge the contributions and achievements of its most distinguished alumni. More than 100,000 FDU alumni have enriched and improved society through their work, volunteer activities, and personal actions. The annual class of The PINNACLE is chosen by past inductees, based on the following criteria: 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.
