The Brian L. Desbiens Community Service Awards recognize volunteer service by Fleming employees as well as members of our external community. In 2013, the internal award, formerly part of the annual Fleming Awards, was combined with a re-named external award (formerly the Fellowship in Applied Education Award), in an effort to encourage more interest in these important awards.
