Employees honored during annual recognition ceremony
Jason Black, director of web and electronic communications; Nancy Finn, admissions staff support; and Jaclyn Jaquette, HR recruitment and data specialist, received this year’s staff community service awards during the annual holiday luncheon and service recognition ceremony Dec. 19. In addition, President Jane Gerety, RSM, honored more than 45 employees for their service to Salve Regina.
Salve Regina’s staff community service awards are designed to recognize staff members who demonstrate their commitment to others by volunteering in their communities. Staff members are honored each year for their volunteerism, and donations in the amount of $300 are given to the charities of their choice.
