Otero, Executive Dean at Monroe Community College’s Damon City Campus, received the 2012 Jennifer Koon Courage Award from the St. John Fisher College Peace and Social Justice studies program.

The Jennifer Koon Courage Award is given to ‘an individual who is committed to peacemaking and who strives to make the world a better and more peaceful place.’
The Jennifer Koon Peacemaking Foundation was established by Mr. and Mrs. David Koon in honor of her daughter, who was abducted from a suburban mall and murdered during her sophomore year at St. John Fisher College in 1993.
