I am very happy to present this year's 
SJFC award in Anthropology to Mary
Delvecchio. Mary embodies the academic
excellence, scholastic achievements, and
community engagements that are
foundational to this award. She
represents and models the goals, values,
and skills that define the Anthropology
program, along with its legacy and
success at St. John Fisher College. With
the GPA of 3.94 and a double major in
Anthropology and Business Management,
Mary has made good use of her time at Fisher. She's been the treasurer of the
Anthropology Club and part of numerous
activities and organizations across
campus and has tirelessly worked to help
fellow students in any way that was most
needed. By being a constant source of
strength, courage, inspiration, and
friendship, I'm sure she's been a great
help to many here at the college. Of note
Mary has drawn from her long experience
in Girl Scouts to complete an optional
senior thesis with high distinction in
anthropology titled "Girl Scouts of
America: Gender modeling and the benefits of cross-age peer mentoring." Accepted
into a number of graduate programs with
scholarships in Anthropology, Mary has
chosen to continue her education at
George Washington University in
Washington DC where she will be pursuing
a combined graduate program in
Anthropology and Museum Studies. She's
planning to combine her skills in
anthropology and business through museum management going into the future. Best of
luck to you, Mary, and thank you for all
of your hard work and kindness that
you've shared on this campus
