Farrar honored with community leadership award
Cynthia Farrar, lecturer in political science, will be one of two recipients
of the 2008 Reverend Howard Nash Community Leadership Award in May.
Farrar and Dorsey L. Kendrick, president of Gateway Community College, were
cited for “their leadership roles in promoting civic engagement through
dialogue and deliberation in the New Haven area, most recently last October
by organizing and hosting the ‘By the People’ deliberative forum
on immigration at Gateway Community College.”
The awardees will be honored at a breakfast to be held at 8 a.m. on Wednesday,
May 7, at the New Haven Lawn Club, 193 Whitney Ave.
The Reverend Howard Nash Community Leadership Award was established in 2002
to honor community leadership in the area of dialogue and to support The Dialogue
Project. The award is named in memory of the late Reverend Howard Nash, formerly
of St. Bernadette’s Roman Catholic Church of New Haven, who helped found
the project.
