The School of Education seeks to recognize distinguished alumni who embody the mission of both Manhattanville College and the School of Education. Award recipients are recognized annually at the School of Education's Graduate, Doctoral, and Alumni Awards Ceremony.
On May 18, 2017, the School of Education presented the following awards to our distinguished alumni:
- The Valiant Educator Award was given to Janet McManus Corvini (B.A.'76), a musician-educator with over 40 years of service to public school music education. Retired in 2016, Ms. Corvini is now the President of the Westchester School Music Association, a county branch of the New York State Music Association.
- The Alumni Award for Publications in PK-12 Education was given to Roseanne Baxter Frank (B.A.'86). Ms. Frank is the author of "Bite Sized Reads," a collection of short stories with rich vocabulary and high interest content for use in secondary classrooms.
A huge congratulations to all the winners!
