Van Hollen Announces Public Service Awardees for Southern Maryland
Today, U.S. Senator Chris Van Hollen announced the
recipients of his 2018 Public Service Award in St. Mary’s, Charles, and Calvert
Counties. The Van Hollen Public Service Award is designed to commend a high
school senior who has demonstrated a high level of commitment to community or
public service. Students who embody this commitment are dedicated to making a positive
change that will benefit their community, state, or nation. Senator Van Hollen
is announcing over 90 recipients throughout Maryland.
“Just as we
recognize students who perform well academically or athletically, students who
are committed to serving others deserve public recognition and commendation.
These students have each shown dedication to serving their communities, and I’m
proud to honor their work. I look forward to seeing the great things these
young men and women will accomplish in the years ahead,” said Senator Van
Hollen.

The Van Hollen Public Service Award is awarded to students
who display a deep sense of dedication to public service, take meaningful
personal initiative, and bring an innovative and fresh approach to improving
the lives of others. The Senator’s office invited local schools to nominate
students who embody these guidelines and nominated students receive a
Congressional Citation. The Van Hollen Public Service Awards program was
launched in 2004 when Senator Van Hollen served in the House of Representatives
and has since been expanded to encompass the entire state.
