This prestigious award was established to " recognize an outstanding student who exemplifies the spirit of a Marquette education by demonstrating significant leadership, as well as service within and beyond the Marquette community." The award is named after Father Pedro Arrupe, SJ - "a man of simplicity, warmth and optimism, committed to serving the poor and leading others to explore the link between faith and justice."
Emily was nominated by a faculty member, and then underwent a formal interview process before being chosen as the recipient.
Emily is being honored at mass tomorrow, September 23rd at 5:30pm in the Chapel of the Holy Family in the AMU. It would be great if a few of us could go to mass to support Emily!
Don't forget to give her a hug and say congratulations when you see her!!
