FSDC

One responsibly of the FSDC committee is to help in the selection process of several important awards available to members of our employee community. 

Two awards are given for excellence, determined by your nominations and supporting statements.

1. Esther Rossi Award for Community Development, which focuses on Goal IV - "Building community as a Christian value.";

2. President’s Award for Excellence, initiated in 2013 for excellence. 

• The deadline for submission of your nominations for these awards is Monday, December 1, 2025.

The following awards for unique professional development are determined through an application process.

1. Sr. Mary Mardel Fund for Professional Development is given to an employee of the Elementary schools.

2. Sr. Ann Conroy Award Fund for Professional Development is awarded to an employee of the High Schools.

• The deadline for the Professional Development Awards application is Monday, December 1, 2025.

We hope that you will be thinking about who you may wish to nominate for the Excellence Awards and to also be thinking about that special professional development opportunity you may hope to pursue in the future.

All awards are announced at the President's New Year's Assembly and Party early in the spring semester.
