Hauppauge Grad Earns SUNY Chancellor’s Award
The local resident is recognized for student achievement and leadership.
A Hauppauge High School alumnus is one of 243 SUNY students across the state honored by Chancellor Nancy L. Zimpher as recipients of the 2013 Chancellor’s Award for Student Excellence.
Matthew Curran was one of 10 recipients of the award at the University at Albany.
The Chancellor’s Award for Student Excellence was created 16 years ago to recognize students who have best demonstrated their ability to integrate academic excellence with accomplishments in leadership, athletics, community service, creative and performing arts or career achievement.
“The students honored have strong records of achievement as student leaders, scholar athletes, aspiring artists, and community volunteers,” said Zimpher. “By exhibiting excellence in class, on campus, and in their local communities, these students truly represent the power of SUNY and we honor them with great pride. Congratulations to all the students recognized.”
In high school, Curran played for the school's lacrosse team and also interned at Sen. John Flanagan's office.
