Meritorious Service Award Recipients

Started in 1981 by the college’s third president, Dr. Joseph Bulmer, the awards are presented at the Meritorious Service Awards and Pinning Ceremony.

The Meritorious Service Award recognizes those classified staff employees of Hudson Valley Community College, the Capital District Educational Opportunity Center and the Faculty Student Association who stand out, not only because they achieve the objectives and engage in the activities included in their job descriptions, but because they excel beyond expectations.
