After a two-year hiatus, the Wagner College DaVinci Society’s 17th annual Scholarship Dinner returned bigger and better than ever. A strong lineup of community leaders who’ve accomplished amazing feats in their respective fields was lauded Thursday in the Hilton Garden Inn ballroom, where the festive event drew 400 guests. 

The annual scholarship dinner is hosted as a way to showcase Italian culture and to recognize those accomplishments and significant contributions of Italian-Americans and acknowledge the impact they’ve had on America. The scholarship dinner was chaired by attorney Robert Scamardella, who called the evening magical.
