During this biennial event, we honor the extraordinary work and service of Catholic University's most distinguished alumni and other deserving individuals.
Catholic University has a long and growing list of successful and outstanding alumni from all walks of life. After receiving nominations from the community, the Alumni Association Board of Governors convenes a selection committee to choose alumni who are most deserving of the Alumni Achievement Awards, Young Alumni Merit Awards, and Quinn Distinguished Service Awardees, and the President's Office joins the committee to select a James Cardinal Gibbons Medalist.
We encourage you to join us as we welcome the award winners back to campus and celebrate their success.
