Created
in 1961, John Carroll University and the National Alumni Association awards
the Alumni Medal, the highest honor presented by the Alumni Association.
It is presented to alumni and others who have distinguished themselves
in their personal lives and careers, thereby reflecting credit upon John
Carroll's educational efforts, moral principles and philosophical tenets.
Candidates are considered using the following criteria: distinguished
service to their profession, exemplary family and personal life, contributions
to their community, and leadership service to the University and the Alumni
Association. Nominees must qualify on the basis of one or more of these
criteria. A recipient usually qualifies under all four.
Nominations are submitted by the John Carroll University Community to
a select nominating committee comprised of Alumni Association Executive
Board members. The nominations from the Community allow the committee
to recognize the many unsung heroes in the area, whose good works and
leadership would have otherwise gone unnoticed. The nominating committee
then selects its Alumni Medal winners from this list of nominations. The
recipients are recognized at the annual Alumni Medal Recognition Dinner
and at Commencement in May.
