Â鶹ÊÓƵÏÂÔØ

• Nominees will be considered to receive an award from the college, school or degree-granting center where the Â鶹ÊÓƵÏÂÔØ degree they received is currently housed. 
• If an individual has multiple degrees from Â鶹ÊÓƵÏÂÔØ, they will be placed in the pools for each college, school or degree-granting center from which they graduated.
• If the nominator is not sure which college, school or degree-granting center is appropriate, the Office of Alumni Engagement will make a determination once the nomination is received to ensure that each candidate is in the correct pool before being reviewed.

Anyone can recommend a Â鶹ÊÓƵÏÂÔØ graduate for an Alumni Merit Award or Pioneer Award. 

Please be prepared to provide information on the nominee’s achievements and qualifications in the following categories:

Alumni Merit Award Nomination

• Professional accomplishments
• Intellectual pursuits
• Awards, honors and recognitions
• Community service
• Commitment to the Jesuit mission
• Continued support of Â鶹ÊÓƵÏÂÔØ

Pioneer Award Nomination

• Professional accomplishments
• Intellectual pursuits
• Awards, honors and recognition
• First among peers/paving the way for others
• Commitment to diversity and inclusion
• Community service
• Commitment to the Jesuit ideals of social justice
• Continued Support of Â鶹ÊÓƵÏÂÔØ

In addition to text-based questions about the nominee’s achievements and qualifications, the form will also ask you to upload a CV or resume and any available letters of recommendation. Please have these ready when you begin the nomination as there is no way to exit and return to the form after you have already started. 

Please fill out each section of the nomination form as thoroughly as possible. The strength of your nomination depends on the information and supporting materials you provide to best represent the accomplishments of your nominee. Referencing a separate cover letter or CV is not an acceptable answer for a section. If you do not complete a section, it will impact the nominee’s score.

Keep in mind that reviewers may not be familiar with industry-specific language or awards, so the more information you can provide about why an accomplishment or accolade is significant, the stronger the nomination will be.

If you are not sure what to include in a nomination, review your nominee’s LinkedIn profile, request their resume or CV, or talk to family, friends or the nominee themselves to learn additional details.
