Antonio Patric Buchanan ’83 will receive The Brother Arthur A. Loftus Award for Outstanding Achievement at this year’s Alumni Awards and Homecoming Dinner. This award recognizes and honors Ionians who have brought acclaim to the University by brilliant accomplishments in their chosen careers. This award, dating back to 1965, perpetuates the memory of Iona’s second president, Br. Loftus, who was also on the original faculty of the University.

Antonio Patric Buchanan is the architect behind Helix+'s vision, strategy, and global operations from go-to-market and product development to the data and consumer insight driving the company forward. A mission-driven entrepreneur with a lifelong passion for science, media, and brand-building, he has assembled a founding team of proven collaborators united by that same conviction. His work has earned him recognition as a top creative thinker by AdAge, a top innovator by Wallpaper Magazine, and a place on Black Enterprise's BE 100 list.

Join us as we celebrate Antonio, our award recipients, and the entire Iona alumni community at the Alumni Awards & Homecoming Dinner. Learn more: https://www.iona.edu/homecoming-weekend

In 1976, the John G. Hagan Graduate School of Business Administration was formally dedicated, marking an important chapter in Iona’s tradition of preparing future business leaders. Fifty years later, that legacy lives on through the Robert V. LaPenta School of Business, where innovative programs, industry connections and a commitment to student success prepare the next generation to lead with confidence and make an impact.

Nationally recognized by The Princeton Review SAT & ACT, Colleges of Distinction and Poets&Quants Iona’s business programs continue to build on that legacy while preparing students for the future.
