"Your commitment, support and leadership make all the difference to today’s Saint Mary’s," he added. Chuck Bridges, Vice President (Assoc.) of External Affairs was the emcee for the special event. Those who presented employees with their awards included Dr. J. Colin Dodds, President, Dr. Terry Murphy, Vice President (Academic and Research), Gabrielle Morrison, Vice President of Administration, Larry Corrigan, Vice President of Finance, and Kim Squires, Director of Human Resources.
