Graduate Student Service Awards

During the final weeks of the academic year, the University will have the opportunity to recognize one graduate student within each academic school and within Graduate Student Life who made an impact during their time at Fairfield University. Graduate students can be recognized for their exceptional dedication to, and enhancement of, a specific program, activity, organization, or project (or group of activities or projects) within the Fairfield University and/or greater community. The graduate student’s commitment to this activity must have resulted in the activity attaining a new level of achievement (a) not possible without the student’s participation and (b) above and beyond any work completed to satisfy a specific course or program requirement. The student should have clearly maximized opportunities for emotional, social, and intellectual growth throughout the duration of their program and best exemplifies the true spirit of a Jesuit education.
