Kansas City reeled off eight straight wins to open the playoffs and qualify for the World Series for the first time since 1985.

the alUMni service awardMichael P. Gallagher Michael P. Gallagher, MBA ’94, has a career that reflects his passion for recognizing achievement across the diverse spectrum of business. In 2002, to honor the millions of business executives and workers worldwide who quietly accomplish innovative and extraordinary things in the workplace every day, Gallagher founded the Stevie® Awards. The name Stevie comes from the Greek name Stefanos, which means “crowned.” Gallagher’s commitment to honoring excellence was sparked during his tenure as vice president of the New York Festivals, organizer of some of the world’s largest international awards competitions for film, television, advertising, and other media. Under his leadership from 1982 to 1988, the New York Festivals signifi-cantly expanded its global influence by adding new awards competitions in fields such as radio and print advertising. Aside from his success in the business world, Gallagher has made a point to stay involved at Mason. Since 2009, he has been involved with the School of Business’s Alumni Chapter. He began his journey on the chapter’s board of directors as vice president of events from 2009 to 2010, followed by leading the group as president for the next two years.
