Ovations Fine Arts Instructor Receives Prestigious Ethics Award

Lucy Monette, an Ovations Instructor, meets with the Dean of Students to receive her Prestigious Ethics Award.

The Ethics Award is given by the Center for Ethics in the University of Tampa John Sykes College of Business. The award is given to both an exemplary individual in the Tampa Bay community who demonstrates integrity, virtue and character as well as an undergraduate student who exemplifies high ethical standards at the University, upholds social responsibility practices in the community and exhibits strong potential for professional success. This award was not given to a student in 2010 because the Center for Ethics did not feel like any of its applicants met their standards. However, this year the Center for Ethics believed two students, Meghan Nagy and Lucy Monette deserved the award!
Lucy was nominated by the adviser to the Peace Volunteer Center, a job she has held since freshman year. She then went through an interview process with those in charge of the Center of Ethics. Lucy was nominated for her service to the Peace Volunteer Center by establishing invaluable connections with local non profits, developing, and implementing the Site Leader Program which increased the number of volunteer events offered per month as well as providing 65 children with Christmas gifts at the All Nations Outreach Center and helping to bring Relay for Life to the University and raising over 100,000 for the American Cancer Society since 2008. The recipients were awarded with a luncheon with the Dean of Students as well as other important figureheads of the University. They also received a plaque with our name on it as well as $500 to go towards endeavors after graduation!
Lucy Monette is one our fantastic Fine Arts teachers as well as the volunteer coordinator for Ovations School for the Arts. She is an asset to this school and a beautiful person both inside and out. We are very proud to have Ms. Monette on our staff. Congratulations Lucy!!!
