Meg Cullen-Brown Magis Award: Tom Salitsky

At the April Staff Senate meeting, a motion was made to rename the monthly Staff Senate Spirit Award in honor of our late colleague and friend, Meg Cullen-Brown. The Staff Senate unanimously voted in approval of such a change. A few weeks later, at the Staff Senate Recognition and Excellence Awards ceremony, Meg’s family members joined Staff Senators and guests as Mark Murphy read a proclamation officially declaring that beginning on June 1, 2018, the monthly spirit award will now be known as the “Meg Cullen-Brown Magis Award.” Each month, we can now express appreciation to those staff members that follow in Meg’s footsteps, inspiring and enriching our community through the Jesuit ideals of being men and women for others and Magis.

We ask that you send in a nomination this month, and every month, to pay tribute to the Magis that you see amongst your colleagues, and that you keep Meg’s memory and her family in your thoughts and in your prayers.
