THE COLLEGE OF NEW ROCHELLE RECOGNIZES
2006 SERVIAM AWARD WINNERS

NEW ROCHELLE, NY, October 26, 2006 -- The Ursuline Institute at The College of New Rochelle today honored four students with the 2006 Serviam Award in recognition of their outstanding volunteer work.  This award, presented at a luncheon at the College’s annual Founders Day celebration, was established by the Institute to honor the College’s Ursuline founders and to heighten awareness of the College’s mission of education for service.  “Serviam” has been an important value for all Ursulines since the founding of the Order of St. Ursula in 1535.  Today, “Serviam” is the universal motto of schools affiliated with Ursuline ministries.


At The College of New Rochelle’s annual Founder’s Day celebration, college president Stephen J. Sweeny is flanked by the 2006 Serviam Award winners.  They include (left to right): Helene Forster, School of New Resources, Class of 2007 (Brooklyn, NY); Tegan Nguyen, School of Arts and Sciences, Class of 2007 (Foxboro, MA); Taisha Medina, Graduate School, Class of 2008 (Mamaroneck, NY); and Gabrielle Carrasquillo, School of Nursing, Class of 2008 (Plainville, CT)
