At the NE-10’s annual awards banquet, Pepe was introduced by former Bentley football player John Destefanis ’22, MBA ’23 (above, right), who observed that, “As a former baseball player at Holy Cross, Professor Pepe understands what it means to be a student-athlete, the values and commitment that it requires within the classroom and within our respective sports. He teaches because he’s passionate about his profession, and he’s helped me navigate my own career aspirations.”
