Faculty and Staff: Jesuit Community Award Nominations

This note was sent by Father Herb Keller, S.J., rector, Jesuit Community, to faculty and staff.

Each year the Scranton Jesuit Community recognizes a member of the graduating class who has exemplified the Ignatian ideal of being “a man or woman for and with others.”

The Jesuit Community Award for Outstanding Service is given to the graduate who has rendered extraordinary volunteer service to those in need in the Scranton area and elsewhere. The widest possible definition of this service is used, but ordinarily, it would occur outside the University. The service could have been rendered as part of a group effort or as an individual; through an agency or informally. It should be verifiable in some way. Ordinary club activity is not included, unless it involves a substantial service component.

With this message, I invite you to submit nominations for this award to the Director of Campus Ministries’ Center for Service and Social Justice, Pat Vaccaro. Pat’s e-mail address is patricia.vaccaro@scranton.edu. Pat will forward the names to the Jesuit Community. Please include all relevant information (an outline of service, resume, vitae, etc.) and send the e-mail recommendation by Friday, April 30 at noon. If you wish to send a written nomination, you are welcome to do so.
