A wall display honoring all Distinguished Alumni Award (DAA) winners from the past 31 years will be unveiled on Friday, Sept. 27, at 5 p.m. on the first floor of the Shaughnessy Administration Building. All past DAA winners are invited to the unveiling.
In the same vein as the Athletics Hall of Fame wall in the Wellness Center, the Distinguished Alumni Award wall includes portraits of the 125 alumni who have received the highest non-degree recognition the University can bestow. The first DAA was given in 1988 and the program has expanded to the current five awards that are given every two years.
