For Living Out the Marianist Ideals in Today's Society
About the Award
The Christian Service Award is presented to alumni whose life's work best reflects the unique quality of service and sacrifice to others, consistent with the Marianist identity of the University of Dayton.
It is given to a graduate who has devoted their life in service to others, who affirms the fullness and complexity of human existence, who appreciates social justice and who brings about changes that make it more possible to live the Marianist ideal in contemporary society.
This award celebrates alumni devoted to extraordinary self-sacrifice for the benefit of others. To be eligible, a person must be a degree holder from the University of Dayton. The alumni board anticipates that this award will only be given when, from the pool of nominations for Alumni Awards, an individual clearly meets the criteria for the award. Unless there is a compelling reason to warrant an exception, only one award will be presented in any given year.
