Fine
Arts Chamber Players and Tulane University student Tobin Fulton were
honored during an awards ceremony and dinner to mark the conclusion of
the 19th year of the ExxonMobil Community Summer Jobs
Program. Along with receiving their awards for Agency of the Year and
Intern of the Year, Fine Arts Chamber Players and Fulton each received a
check for $1,000 honoring their accomplishments.
“It is always a pleasure to honor the deserving recipients of the Agency
of the Year and Intern of the Year awards. Fine Arts Chamber
Players and Tobin Fulton represent the culmination of a summer of hard
work and passion, and we are proud to support their continued efforts in
our community,” said Robert Lanyon, manager, corporate citizenship and
community investments, ExxonMobil.
“We are also very proud of the accomplishments of all 75 interns that
participated this summer in the program. It’s not every day that you
come across a group of young people who are actively investing in their
communities. These 75 college students not only exceeded their
supervisors’ expectations this summer, but they showed a passion for
expanding their personal horizons.”
In selecting the Fine Arts Chamber Players as Agency of the Year
the judging panel concluded that despite being a small agency, Fine Arts
Chamber Players had consistently provided an excellent internship with
plenty of hands-on experience.
And in making the award of Intern of the Year, the panel of
judges concluded that Tobin Fulton had demonstrated great passion for
creating a “greener” organization and had gone above and beyond his
internship duties, leaving a lasting mark on the Jubilee Park and
Community Center. Fulton will use his $1,000 scholarship for educational
expenses when he returns to Tulane University this fall.
Since the program began in 1971 in New York City, ExxonMobil has
provided more than $9.3 million to support 4,300 community summer job
internships.
