Alumni Awards

Each year the Brescia University Alumni Association presents two awards to alumni who’ve made a difference: The Father Charles Saffer Alumni Hall of Fame Award and the Outstanding Alumnus Award.

The Father Charles Saffer Alumni Hall of Fame Award is presented to an alum who through a lifetime of personal achievement has personified the ideals of Brescia University, and the Outstanding Alumnus Award is presented to an alum who has showcased outstanding service to the Alumni Association and/or Brescia University.

Use the form below to submit your nomination of a deserving Bearcat! Awards will be presented this spring during Centennial celebrations. Nominations must be received by January 15.
