Seattle University is dedicated to educating the whole person, to professional formation, and to empowering leaders for a just and humane world.
On Friday, the SU Alumni Association will honor esteemed graduates at the 36th annual alumni awards ceremony, February 10, 5:30 - 9:30 p.m. at PACCAR Atrium/Pigott Auditorium.
Five of the awardees will be recognized for demonstrating exceptional leadership, service to the university and community, a commitment to care, academic excellence, diversity, justice and alignment with SU’s Jesuit values. Two additional alums will be inducted into the SU Athletic Hall of Fame during the event.
“Our Redhawk alumni community passionately approaches life through the lens of service and social justice,” says Ellen Whitlock Baker, assistant vice president for Alumni Engagement. “We celebrate these seven individuals who have accomplished so much and embody SU's Jesuit values in their communities and professions and I can't wait to see all that our alumni community will continue to accomplish.”
