  • 2024 Hon. John V. Corrigan ‘38 Distinguished Alumnus Award Recipient: Scott Fedor '94

    Scott Fedor ’94 credits his faith and experience at Saint Ignatius with preparing him for life. As a student at Saint Ignatius, Scott was given tools for his toolbox that helped him navigate a journey far different than anything he had imagined. A devastating diving accident in 2009 left him with a C-3 spinal cord injury that paralyzed him below the neck. The 2024 recipient of the Hon. John V. Corrigan ‘38 Distinguished Alumnus Award would use those tools as he recovered from the accident to become an author and motivational speaker.
