Alumni/ae Awards

One of the key items voted on at the annual meeting of the Alumni/ae Association, October 29, 2002 was a staff recommendation to establish awards to recognize alumni/ae achievement and service. The approved recommended awards are:

Alumni/ae Service Award - given annually to a graduate or former student who has demonstrated exceptional support for Seabury by personal giving, by successfully encouraging parish support, through active participation in alumni/ae and seminary programs and in speaking compellingly about Seabury among peers and other leaders of the Church.

Alumni/ae Merit Award - presented annually to a graduate or former student who has brought honor to Seabury through his/her leadership in advancing the mission of the Episcopal Church and through scholarly and professional activities which reflect positively on his/her seminary alma mater.

Nominations for these awards may now be submitted by alumni/ae (and other Episcopal leaders) who are personally familiar with the candidates qualifications. Nominations must be submitted to the Alumni/ae Office and must include evidence of the candidates' qualifications for the award. Once a candidate is nominated, they will remain nominated for succeeding years.

Selection of award winners shall be made by a committee to include the alumni/ae officers (except any who may be candidates), the dean and president of the seminary, the director of development, and the director of alumni/ae programs. Award winners must be selected at least three weeks before the annual meeting and the awards shall be presented at the Eucharist during alumni/ae reunions.

The alumni/ae and development office staff welcome alumni/ae views and suggestions regarding these recommendations.
