Joseph A. Varchetto, a senior Finance major from Glen Ellyn, Illinois and Lindsay A. Saelinger, a senior Accountancy major from Cincinnati, Ohio have been named recipients of the 2007 Eugene D. Fanning Scholarship at the University of Notre Dame.

They were selected by the faculty of the Eugene D. Fanning Center in the Mendoza College of Business at Notre Dame for excellence in communication skills and exemplary personal characteristics. Six finalists were selected and the two winners were determined following faculty interviews with each.

The scholarships include a credit to each student’s tuition account with the University and a commemorative pewter plate engraved with the student’s name and award, along with the heraldry of the College. The award, funded by donations from the University of Notre Dame‘s
Business Advisory Council, honors the life and work of Eugene D. Fanning, a Chicago businessman and investor who taught business communication courses as a guest instructor in
