Mary Ann Kerins Humanitarian Award 2022

Lisa Copenhaver

Lisa

Lisa exemplifies many of Mary Ann’s qualities, including her compassion and concern for others. Lisa supports students, staff and faculty, and has even been kind enough to invite exchange students into her home. Lisa has supported multiple students over the years to the point we cannot quantify the ripple effect of these interactions. She spreads this encouragement and grace to everyone she encounters. She has helped with simple challenges within the classroom for students, but she has also intervened to the point of shifting their path in life. Mary Ann would be so proud of the way Lisa has impacted the Hood Community!

Martha Church Endowment Prize 2022

Megan Shaine

Megan Shaine

Megan Shaine has served at Hood College for 6 years and excerpts from the nomination forms will highlight her achievements: One in three college students meet the criteria for a clinically significant mental health condition. In a season when mental health challenges are exacerbated Megan has been a fierce advocate for raising up future mental health providers who are competent and confident as well as initiating change to increase access to mental health resources on-campus and in the greater Frederick community. In 2021 she began building the foundation for a new mental health clinic that would train graduate level counseling students as well as provide clinical mental health services to Hood students and low-income community members. The clinic launched in January 2022 and received very positive feedback from campus and community members on the accessibility of services and the quality of care received from the graduate interns. She generously embodies Hood's motto of sharing her mind, her hands and her heart to improve mental health services available to undergraduate and graduate students at the College.
