RIDGELY – Benedictine hosted its annual milestone awards luncheon on December 4th in Heritage Hall on the Ridgely campus. The milestone luncheon celebrates the dedication of employees for their years of service, ranging from 5 to 50 years. Together, this year’s honorees represent 660 years of service to Benedictine. Executive Director, Scott Evans, was recognized for 25 years.
The celebration also highlighted the extraordinary service of Sister Mary Agnes Dugan, the longest serving staff member, who has been with Benedictine for an incredible 50 years. Sister was recognized for her years of dedication and care for the Benedictine mission. During the event, Scott Evans announced that Benedictine's new student residential dormitories will be named The Dugan Residential Hall in her honor.
“Sister Mary Agnes has lived and worked in the dorms of Benedictine for more years than we can count. She has positively impacted the lives of students, families and staff and helped build a community in her dorm and beyond…I could not think of a more perfect name for this new facility than to honor the one person who has dedicated her life to this area” stated Scott Evans.
The new residences mark phase one of the Transforming Lives Campaign and are scheduled to be completed in the summer of 2026. Currently, more than $11 million has been raised towards this transformative project.
