The Dr. Albert Zanuccki Scholarship was endowed by brothers of Beta Lambda to honor his memory. Dr. Albert Zanzuccki was a brother of Alpha Phi Delta (Beta Lambda '58) and a professor emeritus of accounting at St. Francis University. He passed away at the age of 99 on September 18, 2015. Dr Zan, as he was affectionately known by the brothers and students, was the head of St. Francis University's business department for over 30 years. He was highly respected and well-loved by generations of students. Dr. Zanzuccki was last on the University campus with his family to participate in the Schwab Hall groundbreaking in July. Upon its completion, the first floor of Schwab Hall will be named in memory of him.
As the moderator and advisor to the Beta Lambda chapter, he was very involved in all aspects of the chapter. He worked with the President and Treasurer each year to make sure they understood their responsibilities. He and his family made sure the chapter's house was cleaned and ready for the brothers each school year. He was a kind and gentle leader who everyone listened to when he spoke. He came to chapter meetings at least once each semester and was always open to help anyone who needed assistance or advise. He was like a second father to many of the brothers. He was a good listener and thought before he spoke. Many brothers really go to know him well as he always made time for them. Many would visit him and his wife at their home and he always made them feel special.
Beta Lambda Chapter especially felt the loss of Dr. Zanzuccki's wisdom and kindness. It was noted that any student who had him for Cost Accounting knew about "the Hopper." He used the concept of "the Hopper" every year to teach the accounting majors how to handle work in progress. He was a great teacher who inspired many!
For his many years of service to and care for Alpha Phi Delta Fraternity, the brothers of Beta Lambda Chapter (St. Francis University) are honored to established a scholarship in memory of Dr. Zanzuccki.
Dr. Zanzuccki is also an In Memoriam member of the Omega Society.
