Nominations are being accepted for the Sanctae Crucis Awards,
the highest non-degree recognition bestowed by the College
on an alumnus or alumna.
The Holy Cross Mission Statement is the foundation for the awards, which are
presented in three categories:
- Award for Distinguished Professional Achievement: for
an alumnus/alumna "who, as a leader in business, professional
or civic life, lives by the highest intellectual and ethical
standards ." The alumnus/alumna is widely recognized by
colleagues as greatly accomplished in his/her field. The
individual's private business or professional affairs are
imbued with hard work, integrity and Judeo-Christian principles
reflecting honor and glory on Holy Cross.
- Award for Outstanding Community Service: for
an alumnus/alumna who "seeks to exemplify the long-standing
dedication of the Society of Jesus to the intellectual
life and its commitment to the service of faith and promotion
of justice ." The individual performs outstanding and praiseworthy
service in the interests of humanity and reflects honor
and glory on the College.
- Outstanding Young Alumnus/Alumna Award: awarded
to an alumnus/alumna under age 40, who has already demonstrated
a promising degree of worthy accomplishment. He or she
is "open to new ideas, patient with ambiguity and uncertainty
and combines a passion for truth with respect for the views
of others ." The individual has achieved outstanding personal
or professional accomplishments that reflect honor and
glory on the College.
Nominations must be submitted to the
Office of the Provost by Jan. 1, 2001. In order to be eligible
for nomination, individuals
must be Holy Cross graduates who have not received an honorary
degree from the College. Current Holy Cross trustees are
not eligible while in service on the board.
The nominations and selections committee will review the nominees' credentials
and make recommendations to the provost. The committee is comprised of the
provost, vice president for business affairs, College chaplain, director of
public affairs,
president of the General Alumni Association, and a member of the executive
committee of the Board of Trustees.
The fourth annual Sanctae Crucis Awards ceremony will
be held on May 4, 2001 at the annual spring dinner meeting of the Board of Trustees.
