Each May, two or three cash awards for civic engagement
are given to
graduating seniors at the Honor’s Convocation. A committee made up
of
faculty, staff, and community representatives will select the award
recipient each spring.
The committee looks for students who have made a
significant contribution
of time and effort in the community, and provided leadership to their
peers. Past winners have been able to articulate what they have learned
from their experiences, as well as what the community gained. These are
endowed awards, which means they have specific criteria determined by
the
donors.
Award Descriptions:
Frank and Mollie Steudle Prize
An award given to a graduating senior with distinguished work in
interdisciplinary studies in physical, mental, and emotional wellness,
active in community service, working with the elderly, and planning a
career dedicated to helping others.
George Stanley Arthur Prize for Community Service
Established by Andrew William Arthur, Class of 1983, and his father,
Robert
Arthur. Awarded to a graduating senior who best exemplifies Macalester
College’s historic tradition to the community and is in good
academic
standing. The form of community service may take different forms, and
it
is preferred that the recipient have a grade point average of 3.7 or
higher.
