Lee Manchester’s book, “The Plains of Abraham: A History of North Elba and Lake Placid,” published last August, won the first Special Appreciation Award ever given at the Adirondack Literary Awards program. The annual awards program was held on Sunday, June 8, in Blue Mountain Lake, N.Y.

Manchester is media relations director for Wagner College. He joined the administrative staff in February 2007. 

One of the judges, Bibi Wein (author of “The Way Home: A Wilderness Journey”), explained that the unique award was being given because of the long-term importance to Adirondack literature of Manchester’s book, a compilation and comprehensive editing of four decades of research by the late public historian Mary MacKenzie, who died in 2003.

Effective June 2, Jacob Browne will be Wagner College’s new alumni director. He takes the place of Gail Kelley ’97, who left the college this spring to start a new business.

Jake Browne ’05 M’08 has been at Wagner College since August 2001, when he arrived on campus as a first-year student hailing from Logan Township, New Jersey. During his student tenure at Wagner, he served as a resident assistant, a student ambassador for the Office of Admissions, and a student caller for the Wagner College Annual Fund. He graduated in May 2005 with a bachelor of arts degree in history with a French minor.

   Kurt Landgraf, President and CEO of Educational Testing Service (ETS), delivered the 2008 commencement address to graduates of Wagner College on Staten Island, N.Y., today (May 16).

    Specially honored at this year’s commencement program was Margaret-Anne Milne, great-great-granddaughter of Wagner College’s founding benefactor John George Wagner Jr. Milne who was awarded, on behalf of her family, a thanksgiving commendation from the college.
