SCS senior Hope Morgenstein was recently honored for being selected as one of three Siena College Courage Award winners. The Courage Awards are presented to young people from the Capital Region in middle or high school (grades 6-12), who have demonstrated personal courage by taking positive action against racism, prejudice or bias-related violence in their community. The awards are endowed by Paul and Suzanne Murray and honor those who:
- Have demonstrated extraordinary leadership skills as spokespersons for tolerance.
- Embody the courage to be bridge builders and peacemakers.
- Have taken action fighting intolerance or have engaged in violence prevention or conflict resolution.
- Have stood up against hate and violence
All recipients received a commemorative certificate and a $500 award, which was presented at the annual MLK Dinner and Lecture at Siena College.
Congratulations Hope for this incredible honor!
