Additional Information

We invite you to join us for the 24th Excellence in Business Gala - an annual fundraiser to support student scholarships.

This year’s event will feature a casual conversation between legendary professional golfer Jack Nicklaus and Davenport University President Dr. Richard J. Pappas. As a guest, you will have the opportunity to hear firsthand the impact Jack has had on the sport throughout a career that spanned five decades and how he is continuing his legacy as a golf-course designer, businessman, and philanthropist.

This year's recipient of the Peter C. Cook Excellence in Business Award is Jacqueline Taylor, Ph.D.

Jackie spent 25 years as an executive-level leader in higher education. Her years of leadership, excellence, and achievement, combined with her love of mentorship, have been an amazing benefit to the hundreds of women she has mentored.
