Beth Bellock Spirit of Kindness Award-Nominations

The Beth Bellock Spirit of Kindness Award 

Upon feedback and further discussion, a few changes have been made to the nomination process. If you have already submitted a nomination, Thank You! You may revise your nomination form if you wish to do so. 

To honor Beth's memory and recognize members of our campus community who embody her remarkable spirit, Saint Francis University invites nominations for the Beth Bellock Spirit of Kindness Award. This award is open to all full-time faculty, staff, and administrators. 

The deadline for submitting nominations is now Monday, November 2, 2026.  

Please complete the Beth Bellock Spirit of Kindness Nomination Form.

NOTE: Two letters of recommendation are NOT required. 

However, nominators must submit a supporting statement for the nomination to be considered. This statement will serve as the primary basis for selecting the award recipient. 

After the November 2nd nomination deadline, the two individuals responsible for collecting nominations will remove all identifying information, including names, departments, genders, and titles, before providing the nomination statements to a small committee comprised of several of Beth's friends. The committee will review the anonymous submissions and select the individual who will honor Beth's memory through this year's award. This process ensures that the committee's decision is made anonymously and solely on the merits of the nomination statements. 

Questions may be directed to Denise Farabaugh, Bob Crusciel, or Walt Kalista.

This award will be presented at the annual Employee Christmas Luncheon.
