"This award recognizes our alumni who have distinguished themselves in a professional or technical capacity, which has brought honor to the department and the U of I," said Anthony M. Jacobi, Head and Kritzer Distinguished Professor, MechSE. "Only one percent of our alumni have received this award and we are honored to add Mr. Younan's name to this elite group."
Zaya Younan commented, "The rigors of the U of I Engineering program and the discipline it instilled, provided a solid foundation for my management career that spanned multiple industries and companies including TRW, General Motors and Johnson Controls. This same discipline was applied when I entered the commercial real estate industry, and today Younan Properties is recognized for significant leadership, operational performance and efficiency management."
