Michael A. Maffetone Community Service Award
Audra Perrino, Assistant to the Chair, Physician Assistant Education program, is this year's recipient of the Michael A. Maffetone Community Service Award.

Audra helped orchestrate a costume/Halloween party, toy drive/visit with Santa, and a spring event/game night at Help Suffolk. She also coordinated a food drive for Pronto in Brentwood and a blood drive at University Hospital. In addition, the pre-PA club volunteers their efforts at the Long Island State Vets Home transporting residents to support services and helps them train for the Senior Special Olympics.
