Re: Vincentian Mission Award
Date: Tuesday, October 20, 2009
As you are aware, in 1993 the University established the
Vincentian Mission Award in order to recognize the dedication of
the many St. John's employees - administrators, faculty, and
staff - who have embraced the Vincentian spirit which animates our
University in their personal as well as their professional
lives. Past recipients of the award are as follows:
| Year | Recipient | Employment Status |
| 1993 | Robert Mangione | faculty/administration |
| 1994 | Kathleen Meehan | administration |
| 1995 | Eileen Devine | administration |
| 1996 | John Greg | faculty |
| 1997 | Nell Wrynn | staff |
| 1998 | Monica Spiro-Farrell | administration |
| 1999 | André McKenzie | administration |
| 2000 | Salvatore Spizzirri | administration |
| 2001 | Gene Sampson | faculty |
| 2002 | Rita Noss | staff |
| 2003 | Dave Masur | administration |
| 2004 | Charles Clark | faculty |
| 2005 | Sharon Lynch Norton | administration |
| 2006 | Clover Hall | administration |
| 2007 | Theresa Cantarella | administration |
| 2008 | Larry Boone | faculty |
Once again I invite all members of the St. John's family to
participate in designating this year's recipient of the award.
Since only one recipient can be chosen annually from the many
worthy nominations received, renominations are certainly
appropriate. New nominations are also encouraged. Previous
recipients are ineligible. Guidelines
for nominations and a nomination
form are included.
As in the past, final selection of the recipient will be made by
a committee comprised of faculty, staff, and administrators and
chaired by Dr. Dorothy E. Habben. The award will be presented at
the annual Vincentian Convocation, which is always a highlight of
Founder’s Week and which is scheduled for January 28, 2010. Please
return your nominations by Friday, November 20 to Dr. Habben.
Thank you for your participation in this important activity
which is designed to underscore our institutional commitment to
serve those in need.
