Miller Smith, Five Alumnae among RBJ’s Women of Excellence

St. John Fisher College professor Dr. Arlette Miller Smith, associate professor of English and director of the African American Studies program, is among the Rochester Business Journal’s honorees for the 2020 Women of Excellence awards.

Fisher alumnae Amy DelCorvo ’10 (Ed.D.), Marilynn Patterson Grant ’10 (Ed.D.), Barbara Wale ’05 (MBA), and Seanelle Hawkins ’13 (Ed.D.) are also included in the 2020 class.

The awards recognize high-achieving women for their tremendous career accomplishments. Finalists are selected based on their professional experience, community involvement, leadership, and sustained commitment to mentoring.

The women will be formally honored during a ceremony held in September.
