JMSB’s Eva Ferrara Honoured
Eva Ferrara received the LIVE Centre Volunteer Recognition Award for her many philanthropic efforts over the years.
The John Molson School of Business congratulates Eva Ferrara, the department coordinator for the Department of Decision Sciences and Management Information Systems, on having received the LIVE Centre Volunteer Recognition Award for her many philanthropic efforts over the years.
Eva has participated in and organized the JMSB/Concordia University team for Pedal-for-Kids in support of the Montreal Children’s Hospital Foundation since 2008, raising close to $100,000. In 2007, she spearheaded the first edition of the JMSB Toy Drive, which has grown yearly under her leadership. Eva also assists with other fundraising activities on campus.
The Volunteer Recognition Awards were instituted to recognize students, staff and faculty who have contributed significantly to the larger community, either in Montreal or across the globe. Every year, the individuals who have shared their time and talent to benefit the external community are honoured at an awards ceremony.
The event was held on April 22, jointly with the Concordia’s Council on Student Life (CCSL) Outstanding Contribution Awards, which recognize members of the university community who have made outstanding contributions to student life and services.
"The beauty of the CCSL Outstanding Contribution and Volunteer Recognition Awards is that they are the one time in the year where the breadth and depth of engagement by members of the Concordia community is recognized,” says Dean of Students Andrew Woodall. “Whether it be volunteering in a hospital or overseas, or organizing a bake sale, we are here to celebrate each and every one of these contributions to making Concordia a more vital and caring community.”
