Grove City College seeks nominations for the 34th annual Campus-Community Awards to be presented Nov.14. Two awards are given each year – one for a Grove City College campus representative and one for a representative of the greater Grove City community. The deadline for nominations is Sept. 30.
The criteria for both awards is the same: to seek an individual who has brought the relationship of Grove City College and the Borough together and has demonstrated and/or cultivated positive relationships between the two.
The nominee for the community award must be a local individual who has demonstrated or cultivated positive relationships between Grove City College and one or more community groups and so has brought them closer together. The nominee for the campus award must be a College employee or current student who, through volunteer effort, works to benefit and grow relationships between the College and one or more organizations in the Grove City area.
The award is named for Florence E. MacKenzie, wife of former Grove City College President Dr. Charles S. MacKenzie. Her efforts and involvement included serving as president of Grove City Woman’s Club, the Women’s Bowling League, secretary of the local United Way and president of the Grove City Hospital Board of Trustees, today known as the Grove City Medical Center. The awards have been presented since 1983.
To nominate a qualified individual deserving of a Campus-Community Award, include at least one paragraph detailing why the nominee fits the criteria for either award and send to Charlene Shaw, associate director alumni and college relations, at cmshaw@gcc.edu. Letters will also be accepted; please mail to Charlene Shaw, Alumni Office, 100 Campus Drive, Grove City, Pa. 16127.
