This year’s recipients were Jim Gaffney, Ashley, director of operations and maintenance; Sandy Watson, Roaring Brook Township, administrative assistant, Department of Exercise Science and Sport; and Sherry Edwards, Gouldsboro, custodian.

“Your collective University service spans generations of students,” said Father Quinn at the convocation. “While we are deeply grateful for your faithfulness, we honor you because of your selflessness and caring. Thank you for the example that you set for us all.”
