ROCHESTER — Andrea Raphael of Batavia was honored with the Jessica Shackelton Maclay Partners for Serving Award at the recent Nazareth College President’s Civic Engagement Awards.
Jessica Shackelton Maclay was a Nazareth graduate from the Social Work Department who, as an alumna, went on to serve as an AmeriCorps VISTA, and was one of the founding coordinators of Partners for Serving and co-founder of Homework Help (now known as Nazareth College Connection). Tragically, Jessica passed away in 2011. The “Jessica Shackelton Maclay Partners for Serving Award” was created to honor Jessica’s life and community service legacy, and is awarded to one senior.
