Posted

Frank Cutrone, a Valley Stream resident attending Nassau Community College, was awarded the 2016 State University of New York Chancellor’s Award for Excellence at a ceremony in Albany last month.

“This award is our way of saying thank you to standout SUNY students whose achievements reflect their own impressive hard work as well as the support of their families and friends, and SUNY’s world-class faculty and staff,” said SUNY Chancellor Nancy L. Zimpher. “The students we honor with this year’s award have excelled academically, become role models on campus and established themselves as leaders in the community.”

To qualify for the award, students were reviewed by a college committee for academic excellence and a record of service to NCC and the community.

“Through hard work, intelligence and commitment to service, these students have made NCC proud,” said Thomas Dolan, interim president of the college. “They represent some of our best and brightest and I am honored to have seen them receive this award.”
