Caritas Award Ceremony

The Caritas Awards were established in 1995 through the generosity of an anonymous SJU donor.  Each year a distinguished Saint John's Alumnus and a Saint Benedict's Alumna and two upper class students - one from each campus - are selected to receive this award for their commitment to social change and social justice.  Each alum will be allowed to designate a volunteer organization to receive a $1,500.00 cash award in the recipient's name. Each student receives a $500.00 award for a volunteer organization of his or her choice. Each year one CSB student and one SJU student recipient is chosen to receive the Caritas Award for their commitment to service and social justice as identified by the Social Change Wheel. 

This year's Caritas Award Ceremony will be held on Monday, April 14th, 2008. The event will begin at 5:00 p.m. with a social followed by the awards ceremony at 5:30 p.m. The social and ceremony will be held in the Quad Room 264 at Saint John's University.
