Brigliadoro, Thomas Memorial Book Award

Thomas B. Brigliadoro (“Tommy”) earned a B.S. from the Anisfield School of Business at Ramapo in Business Administration with a concentration in Marketing. He went on to earn a Master of Science in Management from NJIT in 1995.  He achieved tremendous success in marketing, most recently in the pharmaceutical industry.  He was an accomplished lead guitar player and band member since childhood, artfully playing many songs, including some of his favorites, “Free Bird”, “Mustang Sally” and “Gold Dust Woman”.  He was a son, brother, husband, father and friend whose memory will live on as a testament that you can “have it all” while maintaining a good sense of humor and loving heart.  In recognition for being such a great and caring “big brother”, his sister Jennifer O’Neill (also a graduate of Ramapo College) created this scholarship to help cover the costs of books and course supplies.  The recipient will be an ASB student with a love for music.

  • Marketing Major
  • GPA 3.0+
