Saint Vincent College has been selected to receive an Award of Commendation from the National Safety Council. The award is in recognition of the fire safety project conducted with the Christ, The Divine School, senior citizens, and the Latrobe and Saint Vincent volunteer firemen last year. The award was given "in recognition of work promoting safety and health and contributing to the advancement of issues that affect our nation's youth." The fire safety project was underwritten by a State Farm Insurance Grant written by Dr. Doreen Blandino, chair of the Modern and Classical Languages Department, and Career Services.
