Wagner College’s 2009 Civic Engagement Awards were given at a ceremony on Thursday, April 23. They recognize and honor exceptional individuals and community partners who exemplify a sense of caring and responsibility for others that connects citizens and works to address community problems. The awards are given in five categories: Wagner faculty, Wagner staff, a Wagner community partner, Wagner student, and Wagner department.
Flags are at half-mast today at Wagner College in honor of the passing of the school’s longtime friend, N.Y. Sen. John J. Marchi.
Wagner President Richard Guarasci called Marchi a strong supporter who stuck with the College in tough times. “Sen. Marchi,” said President Guarasci, “was instrumental in helping Wagner to purchase the former Augustinian school property that is the future home of a new academic building.”
“He was a gentleman, a scholar, and a true friend,” said President Guarasci.
