Parents do the nominating

The 2009 award winners will be featured on ParentsConnect throughout the year, “which helps promote our family programming and our overall our awareness,” said Abdallah. He believes that the ParentsConnect.com nomination helps promote the college as well; for it will show New Yorkers that BMCC has an award-winning performing Arts Center on its campus.
