On January 23rd, SSEU Local 371 bestowed its Charles S. Ensley Awards on NYC Public Advocate Jumaane Williams, a long-time supporter of SLU, Arthur Cheliotes, Chair of SLU’s Labor Advisory Board, and our own Dean Gregory Mantsios.
The “Mighty Mighty Union” holds this annual gala to fund-raise for the Charles S. Ensley Scholarship Foundation, named for the late president of SSEU 371. The Foundation awards $3,500 scholarships each year to union members seeking to further their education so that they can become more skilled, knowledgeable activists in the labor movement. On January 23rd, seven individuals received scholarships to attend SLU and pursue certificates, advanced certificates, or a master’s degree in Labor Studies.
Along with his daughter Andrea, Associate Deans Gladys Palma de Schrynemakers and Burt Sacks and a number of enthusiastic SLU staff were on hand to salute Dean Mantsios.
Congratulations!
