Fred Favo, B.Arch.E. 1955, P ’84, ’86, ’93, loved Catholic University. In this tribute video, Raney Favo Zatawski, B.A. 1993, and Frank Persico, B.A. 1974, M.A. 1976, reveal how Favo helped to shape both the Catholic University campus you see today and the lives of countless students through the scholarships he established.

As a student, college athlete, graduate, CatholicU sweetheart, parent, multiple-award winner, member of the Alumni Board of Governors, and University Trustee, Favo exemplified what it means to be a Cardinal. A devoted family man, he never stopped giving back to the University he once called home.
