Seidman Montclair State College Commencement May 27, 1981 * Introduction of the Faculty * Students, Parents and Friends, Faculty and Administration. A College faculty has four basic interrelated missions: teaching and learning; focus on the arts and aesthetic values of form, harmony and beauty; research for the discovery of truth and the advancement of knowledge; public and community service. Integrating these missions are human values and behaviors: sensitive, innovative leadership, and creative solutions for the physical and psychosocial health and well-being of people throughout the world; a strong commitment to individual human rights, social and racial justice; encouraging and rewarding cooperation, helping and responsible behavior in the pursuit of excellence. A college faculty participates actively and critically in the changing needs of society and the peaceful resolution of conflict -- and attempts to develop and strengthen moral values, spiritual values, and the capacity for compassion and forgiveness and outgoing love. Our faculty at Montclair strives to support and improve the human condition, making life more meaningful and fulfilling. We have made a substantial contribution to the lives of our graduating students, and indirectly, our faculty has made substantial contributions to the lives of all of us. It is my high privilege to introduce the faculty of Montclair State College.\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>List of Seidman Award Recipients*<\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<table width=\"541\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"176\">Year Awarded<\/td>\n<td colspan=\"2\" width=\"365\">Recipients<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>2026<\/td>\n<td>Yuval Landau<\/td>\n<td>Nicolas Pena<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>2025<\/td>\n<td>Brianna G.
