The Aeries Award is selected annually in May by the MVCC Foundation from a list of nominations made throughout the academic year by members of the MVCC family. This award recognizes the MVCC faculty or staff member who has made a significant volunteer contribution to a not-for-profit or charitable organization. The recipient receives a personal desk plaque and their name is engraved on the Aeries Award wall plaque in the MVCC Board Room. This recognition includes a $1000 prize that is given to a local charity in the name of the Aeries Award winner. (view list of recipients)
