Upton native wins academic award from Worcester State University

worcester state university Kathryn Patrick of Upton, Mass., has received the Vanessa Anne Dunn Memorial Criminal Justice Academic Major Award from Worcester State University. Patrick was honored last month at the 2015 Academic Achievement Awards ceremony at Mechanics Hall in Worcester.
Each year, the University honors and rewards the highest ranking students in each of the academic disciplines, as well as those who have received special recognition awards.
The Vanessa Anne Dunn Memorial Criminal Justice Academic Major Award is presented in memory of Vanessa Anne Dunn, a student in the criminal justice program who tragically lost her life in 2010 just months before she was scheduled to graduate from Worcester State University. Vanessa’s family and friends have provided funding for this award, which is given each year to the senior in the criminal justice program with the highest overall GPA.
