“Our Ambassador Handbook served as an invitation to students and staff to get involved in Day of Giving. It was both informative and inspiring, outlining how anyone can become an ambassador and make a Daemen difference,” said Misercola. “We revamped the ambassador program last year and it paid off, not just in this award, but in a record-number of participation and funds raised. It’s an honor to be recognized for this work.”
Alum Nicholas Schafer ‘13 received a Gold Excalibur Award in the Tactic–Video or Audio Programs category for his “Illuminating mental healthcare for kids” campaign with Kaleida Health.
