Cronin also sponsored the A.G. Timothy Hay (MBA ’57) Fellowship in honor of his mentor.

Kevin Kennedy (MBA ’74) (center) and two of the recipients of the Sidney Wertimer, Jr., Fellowship, Bernel E. Hall, Jr. (HBS ’04) and Mia F. Mends (MBA ’03), listen to Dean Clark’s remarks. Earlier in the evening, Kennedy discussed his decision to establish a fellowship in honor of Wertimer, one of his professors at Hamiltion College.

Fellowship donors and recipients gathered on campus in late April for the third annual Fellowship Dinner. The event brings together those who support financial aid at HBS and the students who benefit from their generosity. This year’s student speaker, Father Thomas Patrick Doyle (MBA ’03), who holds the Non-traditional Education Fellowship from the Trinitas Foundation as well as the Joey O’Donnell Fellowship, thanked those present on behalf of all fellowship recipients. Said Doyle, “We will be good stewards of the resources you have entrusted to us. We thank you for the learning your gifts reinforce.” In his remarks, Dean Kim B. Clark asked the students to take note of the people who helped them get where they are today and to play a similar mentoring role for future generations.
