<p>DALLAS TWP. &#8212; The Misericordia University Board of Trustees presented the Trustee Associates Award to John P. Martin, Ed.D., of Dallas in recognition of his leadership in education and outstanding commitment and support of the university at the 2016 Trustee Associates Gala in Sandy and Marlene Insalaco Hall. The Trustee Associates Award is given annually to friends of the university who have demonstrated outstanding dedication, service and generous support.</p><p>Martin was recognized for a lifetime of leadership and the work he has done to foster and promote secondary, undergraduate and graduate, and in particular, Catholic education and health care management education, in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. The Scranton native was one of the founding fathers of West Side Central Catholic High School &#8212; the former Bishop O&#8217;Reilly High School &#8212; that opened in 1954 in Kingston as the first centralized Catholic school in the Diocese of Scranton. It was there that he served as director of athletics and launched his career as a teacher and a mentor.</p><p>Martin joined the faculty at Misericordia in 1967, and through 1971 served as an associate professor of education, psychology and philosophy, as well as the campus chaplain. Among his contributions, he established The Frederick and Sarah Joyce Gerrity Endowed Scholarship in 2002, which is awarded to students with financial need who are graduates of a parochial high school and wish to attend Misericordia University.</p><p>As a retiree, he has served Misericordia as an active member of Council Misericordia and played an instrumental role in the development of the Bachelor of Science in health care management, an Expressway accelerated degree program that was launched in 2004.</p><style>
