Tina Staudt Honored at Concordia’s 32nd Annual Community Dinner: See Photos

 

Nov. 27, 2013: On November 6, friends and neighbors gathered in the Schoenfeld Campus Center for Concordia College's community dinner. Now in its 32nd year, this annual event celebrates the college's partnership with the community and includes the presentation of the President's Award for Excellence in Educational Service to the Community. The event also honored past award recipients.

President Dr. Viji George presented the 2013 award to Christina Staudt for her impressive record of civic leadership and social responsibility.

Staudt, a Bronxville resident, holds positions on the boards of several not-for-profit organizations that serve the aging and suffering. She is co-founder and past president of the Westchester End-of-Life Coalition and an active hospice volunteer, and she recently launched LiveWithCare.org, a website designed to help Westchester residents prepare for and cope with serious illness and the end of life.

She is also chair of the Columbia University Seminar on Death and is an associate of the recently launched DeathLab at Columbia University Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation. She also serves on the advisory board of the OSilas Gallery at Concordia.

"We gather to lift up one among us, a living example of what we hold near and dear to our hearts. We honor Tina for her outstanding service and commitment to education, community, and the common good," said Dr. Viji George, president of Concordia College. He added, "Bronxville has been Concordia's home for more than a century, we are blessed to be part of this community and are happy to share in this joyous evening."

The room, decorated by Mrs. Morgan's Flower Shop, glowed with amber light; autumnal flowers and checkered ribbons of red, orange, and gold adorned the tables.

Bronxville Overview

Bronxville is a quaint village (one square mile) located just 16 miles north of midtown Manhattan (roughly 30 minutes on the train) and has a population of approximately 6,500. It is known as a premier community with an excellent public school (K-12) and easy access to Manhattan. Bronxville offers many amenities including an attractive business district, a hospital (Lawrence Hospital), public paddle and tennis courts, fine dining at local restaurants, two private country clubs and a community library.

While the earliest settlers of Bronxville date back to the first half of the 18th century, the history of the modern suburb of Bronxville began in 1890 when William Van Duzer Lawrence purchased a farm and commissioned the architect, William A. Bates, to design a planned community of houses for well-known artists and professionals that became a thriving art colony. This community, now called Lawrence Park, is listed on the National register of Historic Places and many of the homes still have artists’ studios. A neighborhood association within Lawrence Park called “The Hilltop Association” keeps this heritage alive with art shows and other events for neighbors.

Bronxville offers many charming neighborhoods as well as a variety of living options for residents including single family homes, town houses, cooperatives and condominiums. One of the chief benefits of living in “the village” is that your children can attend the Bronxville School.

The Bronxville postal zone (10708, known as “Bronxville PO”) includes the village of Bronxville as well as the Chester Heights section of Eastchester, parts of Tuckahoe and the Lawrence Park West, Cedar Knolls, Armour Villa and Longvale sections of Yonkers. Many of these areas have their own distinct character. For instance, the Armour Villa section has many historic homes and even has its own newsletter called “The Villa Voice” which reports on neighborhood news.
