Maura Driscoll Family and Friends Scholarship

Maura Driscoll was a Biology Department adjunct faculty member and lab technician for 28 years. During that period she took time to be a volunteer in the Peace Corps. She had a true interest in microbiology and in helping her students succeed. At STCC, Maura spent a great deal of her personal time volunteering to help students; she showed particular commitment to the work study students within the Biology Department. In addition, Maura was a dedicated aunt to ten nieces and nephews and maintained strong ties with her family.
