A marketing major at Fairfield, Canepa worked as a program manager at IBM for more than 12 years before returning to her alma mater to lead Alumni Relations efforts. As an undergraduate, she served as a resident advisor, an Admission tour guide, played club sports, and was awarded the prestigious Loyola Medal for engagement and service. After graduation, she joined the Alumni Association board, serving as her class reunion co-chair. In 1992, she became the first female president of the Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¹ÒÅÆ Alumni Association.
Canepa remains committed to fostering deep relationships with generations of Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¹ÒÅÆalumni in her role as assistant vice president of Alumni Relations. She notes that the University has grown and changed over the years, but “the bond that Stags share and their loyalty to Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¹ÒÅÆhas not changed.” Read more about Canepa’s commitment to Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¹ÒÅÆ.
