PUBLIC SAFETY HONORS STUDENTS FOR "GOOD CITIZENSHIP"

Petonic, Maddes and Cugini receive their awards from Hill

Annamarie Cugini '09, Ashley Madden '09 and Cara Petonic '07 are the first winners of the Public Safety Department's new Good Citizen Award, Public Safety Director Mike Hill has announced.

"The purpose of the award is to acknowledge members of the Bryn Mawr Community who assist the department in some way that is deserving of recognition," Hill says. "There have been many instances in the past where members of the community have done some good deed that was instrumental for my staff when responding to an incident."

Cugini, Madden and Petonic, all residents of Pembroke West, were recognized for their quick responses to a hallmate's severe allergic reaction. Together, they contacted the parents of the student who suffered the reaction, found an epinephrine autoinjector to stop the reaction, contacted Public Safety and helped officers get the student to the hospital.

"Had these students not acted so quickly and responsibly, their friend's life would have been in jeopardy," Hill says. The students were presented with certificates late last month.
