2020 Senecans of Distinction Award Recipients

Each year, Seneca college recognizes individuals who make significant contributions to college on campus and in the community through The Senecans of Distinction Award.

Among the 2020 Award winners is Opticianry professor and program coordinator, Tatiana Mighiu. 

In making the award, Seneca College recognizes Professor Mighiu’s passion and the respect she has earned among academics and industry leaders. She has been the force behind syncing the full- and part-time Opticianry programs, ensuring that industry standards are exceeded in both programs.

Professor Mighiu has also worked to improve Seneca graduates’ national exam averages by implementing changes to classroom instruction. This resulted in Seneca ranking higher than the national average in exam scores the following year. 2020 is the year to celebrate 20/20 vision, and there is no better time to honour her with this award.

Sàfilo acquiert 61,34 % de Privé Revaux

Le Groupe Sàfilo a annoncé l’acquisition de 61,34 % des titres de capitaux propres de la société de Miami Prive Goods (« Privé Revaux ») à la signature et à la conclusion de la transaction.

David Schottenstein, le fondateur et président-directeur général (PDG) de la société, demeure propriétaire d’environ 15,5 % des titres de capitaux propres, tandis que le reste est détenu par les célébrités Jamie Foxx, Hailee Steinfeld et Ashley Benson, la haute direction de la société et certains autres investisseurs. Le fonds d’action privé TSG Consumer Partners et ses affiliées ont vendu tous leurs intérêts dans Privé Revaux au Groupe Sàfilo et à d’autres détenteurs d’actions de la société.

Privé Revaux est née en 2017 d’une passion commune pour le style et la qualité afin de perturber l’industrie des lunettes et de fabriquer des montures de haute qualité à la portée de tous. La société a élargi sa gamme de montures de qualité abordables au-delà des lunettes solaires habituelles pour offrir des lunettes qui bloquent la lumière bleue et atténuent la fatigue oculaire. Depuis sa fondation, Privé Revaux a entretenu des relations étroites avec des vedettes, qui portent ses produits et vantent leurs mérites.

En 2019, la société a enregistré des ventes nettes d’environ 20 millions de dollars américains, une hausse d’à peu près 90 % par rapport à l’année précédente, et planifie de continuer à progresser fortement en 2020. Cette participation majeure de 61,34 % vaut 67,5 millions de dollars américains.

David Schottenstein demeurera PDG de Privé Revaux, laquelle continuera à être exploitée à partir de son siège social de Miami.
