Undergraduate Student Achievement Awards

During the final weeks of the academic year, the University will recognize students of the Class of 2019 who have made an impact during their four years at Fairfield. University faculty and staff are encouraged to help identify exceptional seniors.

Please consider submitting a nomination for a student or students from the Class of 2019 for the St. Ignatius Loyola Medal, the William J. Kramer ’60 Humanitarian Award, and the Student Achievement Awards.

The St. Ignatius Loyola Medal is given to a senior who has shown commitment to high academic standards and substantial involvement in community service and/or extracurricular activities. The student maximizes opportunities for emotional, social, and intellectual growth throughout all four years at Fairfield University and exemplifies the true spirit of Jesuit education.

The William J. Kramer ’60 Humanitarian Award recognizes a senior who has shown commitment to volunteerism and service to an external community activity that best exemplifies the Ignatian tradition of being men and women for and with others.

Student Achievement Awards recognize seniors who have shown exceptional dedication to, and enhancement of, a specific Fairfield University program, activity, organization or project. The student’s commitment to this activity must have resulted in the activity attaining a new level of achievement.

To submit a nomination, please visit the online awards site. Nominations will be accepted through Friday, Feb. 22, and a formal recognition ceremony will be held on Wednesday, Apr. 17 at 4 p.m. in the Kelley Center.
