Vincent R. McGrath is one of 12 selected this year for Kappa Delta Pi鈥檚 prestigious Eleanor Roosevelt Chapter, a body limited to only 100 members.

KDP was founded in 1911 to foster excellence and provide support for those in the various teaching fields. A memorial to one of the nation鈥檚 most influential first ladies, its Roosevelt chapter was established in 2011 to recognize KDP members making 鈥渟ignificant and longtime contributions鈥 to the organization, in particular, and profession, in general.

Dean Richard Blackbourn said he joins others in the college praising McGrath鈥檚 selection as a member of the society鈥檚 most esteemed group.
