The Thomas A. Manion Distinguished Faculty Award was established in honor of former Saint Rose President Thomas A. Manion. This award is presented to an eligible faculty member in recognition of excellence in teaching, outstanding professional accomplishment and concern for the students demonstrated by influencing their personal and professional lives. Eligible faculty members must currently be teaching full-time at the College, and have done so for six consecutive years.

The Distinguished Alumni Award acknowledges a Saint Rose alumna/us for demonstrating the excellence of The College of Saint Rose education through outstanding accomplishments or significant contribution to society. Distinction must lie in one of the following areas: professional, academic, cultural, service or creative expression. Selection for the award is based on the quality of achievement, the scope of its impact and the extent to which it exceeds the nominee's customary professional responsibilities.

This year's winners of the Thomas A. Manion Distinguished Faculty Award and the Distinguished Alumni Award will be honored during the Distinguished Awards Presentation on Saturday, June 2, 2012 at 11:30 am in the Lally School of Education's Touhey Forum. To register for this event,
