For the Argiz, Education is Priority

For Antonio Argiz P'02, a Cuban exile, education has always been a top priority. Argiz graduated from Florida International University in 1974 and became a certified public accountant in 1977. Now his oldest child, Carolina, will graduate from Holy Cross. Tony and his wife, Conchy, have been so pleased with Carolina's experience at Holy Cross, that they have committed $50,000 to the Lift High the Cross campaign. The Argiz are delighted to be a part of the Holy Cross community, and have, for the past two years, invited alumni and parents into their home for the Miami area alumni receptions.

Tony is an audit partner in the Miami, Fla., accounting firm Morrison, Brown, Argiz & Co. He has received a number of awards for his technical skills and has served on many boards, including the National Governing Council of the AICPA, the Board of Governors of the FICPA and the National Steering Committee of Lending Services of AFAi. He is a board member of the Florida Foster Care Review Project, Inc., past chairman of the board of trustees of the Carrollton School of the Sacred Heart and is currently the chair of the United Way Campaign of Miami-Dade County. He and Conchy live in Coral Gables, Fla., with their sons Antonio and Andy.

Gary Carskaddan, director of parent giving, says, "Tony and Conchy are warm and enthusiastic parents who have clearly been pleased with Holy Cross. They want to stay close to the College. As advocates for Holy Cross in the Miami area, they have hosted over 100 alumni and parents in their home. I am very grateful to them."
