SALISBURY, MD---Salisbury University senior Sarah Iacuzio, daughter of Ann and Dominick Iacuzio of Chatham, NJ, was recently awarded the Topolski Family Scholarship for 2006-07.

The scholarship was presented to Iacuzio at the annual SU Sociological Society picnic by Joann Topolski in memory of her late husband, Tony.  Mr. Topolski was a local political activist who bequeathed scholarship monies to be awarded annually to the sociology major who best exemplifies a commitment to social justice and change through social action and involvement in civic life.

Iacuzio is a member of Amnesty International and a volunteer for the Homework Club at Salisbury Urban Ministries through SU’s ShoreCAN Volunteer Center.  She is a Dean’s List student.
