Duquesne alumna Ann Fisher Hohn
was recently presented with the Anthony L.
Bucci Award for Excellence in Communication Ethics
from the Department of Communication & Rhetorical
Studies at Duquesne University.
Citing her commitment to nonprofit
communication, the communication & rhetorical
studies faculty selected Hohn from a wide range
of communication professionals. A 1983 graduate
of the communication program in Duquesne’s
McAnulty College of Liberal Arts, Hohn is vice
president of communications for the Make-a-Wish
Foundation. She has served that organization
since 1992.
“Bucci Award recipients exemplify our hopes
for Duquesne communication graduates,” said
Dr. Kathleen Roberts, chair of the Communication
Ethics Center. “Each year it is given
to someone who lives out Duquesne’s mission
to serve, and who paves the way for ethics to thrive
in the marketplace. Ann Fisher Hohn was the
perfect choice.”
Hohn has been recognized as a consummate professional
by the Public Relations Society of America (PRSA),
winning a Silver Anvil Award in 1988. In
2004, she served as president of PRSA’s Pittsburgh
chapter and continues to contribute to the education
of future communication professionals.
Hohn accepted the award at a special ceremony
held by the Department of Communication & Rhetorical
Studies. Nearly 200 students and faculty
from the department attended the event. Students
provided an eager audience for Hohn’s remarks,
which included advice on the importance of academics. She
said that the most important thing students can
do is read. “Events like this one are
also very important in learning for your future,” she
said.
Hohn is a resident of Sarver.
