Rockland Community College’s Distinguished Professor and Program Director for Visual and Performing Arts, Patty Maloney-Titland (pictured above, center), received both the regional and national William H. Meardy Faculty Member Awards at the 53rd Annual American Community College Trustees (ACCT) Leadership Congress in October.
ACCT’s Regional Awards recognize the tremendous contributions made by community colleges and their leaders to their communities. “Community colleges are unique institutions dedicated to making high-quality higher education accessible for all Americans,” said ACCT President and CEO, Jee Hang Lee. “This year’s regional ACCT awardees represent the most outstanding people and programs from throughout the country, and we are excited to be able to bring attention to them.”
Dr. Katie Lynch, RCC Officer in Charge of Academic Affairs, says, “For decades, Professor Maloney-Titland has been a bright star in the RCC constellation. She is an award-winning teacher, an accomplished director, an experienced mentor, and a dedicated colleague. She has nurtured generations of students while serving the College and her community in a variety of ways. She epitomizes the servant-leader ethos, and her creativity, generosity, and commitment deserve every possible honor!”
“As a creative, it’s a blessing to have such an amazing mentor in my corner,” says Feliz Vazquez Ayala, one of her students. “Becoming an actor has been a life-long dream of mine, one that began to take shape under Patty Maloney-Titland’s guidance. While I was ready for how much work was involved in the world of performance, I wasn’t prepared for how much fun it would be. Because of this, I can safely and confidently say that Patty has only solidified what was already a chosen career path. Patty deserves this award and then some.”
