Congratulations to the
2009 Alumni Merit Award recipient - Paul Wirsching' 57!
Purpose Institute of Technology, Saint Louis University
established the Alumni Merit Award to bring to the attention
of the community and the nation, in a dignified and dramatic
way, the end-product of the College’s diverse, well-rounded
educational program, namely, distinguished graduates. Through
this method of honoring a selected man or woman each year,
the College aims to showcase the recipient’s contributions
and accomplishments;
a) As a source of edification to its alumni and present
and future students; and
b) To emphasize the skill and competence of the faculty
in influencing the lives of outstanding alumni.
Qualifications and Regulations The award is given each
year to a member of the Institute of Technology Alumni association
as is defined in the association constitution and by laws.
The award is conferred only on a graduate who exemplifies,
to an outstanding degree in daily life. To be more specific,
this graduate shall have achieved success: a) In civic leadership
or social welfare activities; and/or b) In professional
or business life; and/or c) In intellectual or cultural
pursuits; and/or d) In personal, home and family life.
Note: “The alumni committee on awards operates on
the general policy that members of Parks College full-time
faculty and current University Trustees are not eligible
for the Alumni Merit Award. This would not apply to faculty
members and Trustees who are at the point of retirement
or have already retired. The committee might occasionally
be willing to make an exception to this general policy…”
Recommending of Candidates Any person may recommend a graduate
for the award. Note, however, that the award is not given
posthumously. The recommendation should contain a complete
biographical sketch or profile of the person, together with
the salient reasons why the nominee qualifies for this unique
recognition. Nominations should be sent to the Office of
Alumni Programs.
Method of Presenting Awards The award will be presented
during Homecoming Weekend, which is normally in the fall
of the year, or at another suitable occasion as determined
by the Parks College Alumni Association to achieve the purpose
of the award. The recipient must be in attendance to accept
the award at the time of presentation.
