Galvin was nominated by Jill Caseria, a communications and marketing senior writer in University Advancement, who commended her colleague鈥檚 efforts on behalf of the Department of Children and Families鈥� Wonderfund, an organization that supports children who are victims of abuse and neglect.

鈥淢aggie truly embodies the BC motto of being a woman in service to others,鈥� said Office of Governmental and Community Affairs Vice President Thomas Keady, in remarks prior to presenting the award.

Galvin began her 34-year career at md传媒国产剧 College in the Theology Department and joined University Advancement in 2003, where she has been honored with the "Caught You Being Excellent" award given to employees who go above and beyond in their job duties.

Called 鈥淪anta's #1 local helper鈥� by Caseria, Galvin annually rallies her coworkers to contribute to a holiday collection of toys and clothing to benefit children and teens in need鈥攐ffering to wrap the contributed gifts herself鈥攁nd has a following of more than 180 generous friends and colleagues involved in the initiative. She is a force behind md传媒国产剧 College鈥檚 annual Christmas Raffle Baskets, which provide families, teens, and hundreds of young children in the state foster care system with both toys and basic necessities. And she has continued the Christmas collection established by the late Paula Forget of BC Facilities Services, coordinating with local organizations to provide for children who otherwise would not receive a gift during the holidays.

鈥淪he has a wonderfully big heart and puts in hours and hours of work on this鈥� 鈥榡ust because,鈥�" according to Caseria. 鈥淢aggie truly embodies Jesuit values by giving and doing for the less fortunate without ever expecting anything in return.鈥�

鈥淲hen I started at md传媒国产剧 College back in 1989, Paula Forget would send out an appeal as the holidays approached, for people to take the name of a child under social services care and fulfill their Christmas wish list,鈥� Galvin said. 鈥淚 looked forward to this every year and many years later, when an opportunity came up for me to take on a representative role, I was thrilled. I am only a facilitator; it is the generosity and kindness of my amazing colleagues in University Advancement and other parts of campus that make this program possible. I cannot do it without them and I cannot thank them enough!鈥�

Galvin also credited her partners in an annual Winter Clothing Drive and the Christmas Raffle Baskets: Marsia Hill Kreaime and Jane McGuire, respectively, of Student Services. 鈥淚 want to acknowledge and thank them as well for the incredible and meaningful work they each do and for allowing me to have a part in it.鈥�

At the recognition event, Keady shared words of praise from some of Galvin's听 colleagues and friends:

鈥淚 wish there were more people in the world like Maggie.鈥�
鈥淓veryone that knows Maggie trusts her explicitly, her work ethic, her historical knowledge of BC, her sensibility, her Irish wit and sarcasm and her empathy toward others.鈥�
鈥淢aggie鈥檚 innate kindness, her consideration for others, and her good humor make it a joy and privilege to know her.鈥�

鈥渕d传媒国产剧 College offers so many opportunities to be of service to others," Galvin said. "I would encourage people to take part because you get back so much more than you give.鈥�
