Seaman Awards given to fine community leaders

 

The 2004 A. Ross Seaman Leadership Award, given to outstanding students in Applied Human Services, was presented at a ceremony in the Hall Building Faculty Club on June 2.

Tesfa Mattis, on the right in the photo, has volunteered with the LaSalle Black Community Association’s summer day camp for several years, as well as the NDG YMCA’s intervention program, which helps young people cope with anger. Currently, he is the Tutor Program Coordinator at Youth in Motion, in Little Burgundy.

Joseph Schratz, seen shaking hands with Tesfa, is in Therapeutic Recreation, and will graduate this December. He has worked as a writer, events coordinator and teacher. His nominator said he embodies the meaning of the A. Ross Seaman Leaderhip Award.
