NEW ROCHELLE, NY (01/31/2012)(readMedia)-- The College of New Rochelle on Thursday, January 26, 2012 recognized Patricia Ganues-Williams from Port Chester, NY, a student in its Graduate School, with a 2011 Ursuline Education Award for Service.

The Student Service Recognition Program is sponsored by the Ursuline Educational Services, a collaborative effort of Ursuline congregations to carry their educational traditions into this new millennium. According to the College's Director of Campus Ministry, Helen Wolf, "Each recipient must have completed a specific act of service in the previous academic year."

Patricia Ganues-Williams was honored for her 25 years of volunteer service within Westchester County. Her volunteer activities include mentoring at-risk youth, prison ministry, feeding the homeless, and facilitating a Toys for Tots program for children in need.

Patricia's service also extended to her fellow students, as she has encouraged more than 50 students over the years to enroll in The College of New Rochelle School of New Resources, where both her daughter and son-in-law are current students.
