At the 37th annual New York awards dinner, held at the New York Athletic Club in Manhattan, President Tetlow received the Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton Award, given to those who exemplify leadership, support the Catholic community, and live their faith. The award was named in honor of Saint Elizabeth Seton, a lifelong educator who is considered the founder of American Catholic schools. 

President Tetlow was recognized alongside her fellow honoree—and fellow lawyer—Sister Eileen McCann, C.S.J., a Bronx-born nun in the Sisters of St. Joseph of Brentwood who dedicated her life to serving immigrants and the poor as a teacher, principal, and legal advocate. In attendance at the dinner were other members of the Fordham community, including Armando Nuñez, chair of Fordham’s Board of Trustees, who introduced President Tetlow for her award presentation at the dinner, and John Cecero, S.J., vice president for mission integration and ministry.
