\u201cWe welcome nominations regarding outstanding individuals for the President\u2019s Distinguished Medal,\u201d said Welsh. \u201cThere are many wonderful, giving people and businesses that make a defined positive impact on the lives of others. We feel the 125th<\/sup> anniversary of East Stroudsburg University is the ideal opportunity to acknowledge them with the highest honor that ESU can award.\u201d<\/p>\n
