Twelve-time Emmy Award winner and six-time Edward R. Murrow Award recipient Tom Rinaldi was presented with another accolade to add to his distinguished résumé on Thursday night at 7 p.m. in the Villanova Room.
Rinaldi, an ESPN reporter, was presented the Fr. Bill Atkinson, O.S.A. Humanitarian Award by the university’s Office of Disability Services.
“It means a great deal; it’s very humbling,” Rinaldi said. “When Greg [Hannah] told me about it, I told him that while I appreciate it, I absolutely don’t deserve it.”
Instead, Rinaldi deferred credit to the leaders of LEVEL at Villanova.
“The award should go to the people who are doing the work, not the people who are telling the stories of the people doing the work,” Rinaldi siad.
