Alumni Awards

After graduation, Saint Louis University alumni head out into the world to make a difference — in their fields, in their communities and in the lives of others. The University is pleased to honor their achievements with a variety of awards.

Alumni Merit Awards

An Alumni Merit Award is bestowed upon a distinguished graduate from 12 of SLU’s schools, colleges and centers in recognition of their outstanding achievement, dedication to a chosen profession and commitment to the mission of the University.

Alumni are welcome to nominate their fellow SLU graduates for the awards. The National Alumni Board, Development Division, leadership and faculty from 12 schools and colleges across the University select the winners. Recipients are honored at an annual award ceremony held the weekend of Commencement.

As the first institution of higher learning west of the Mississippi River, Saint Louis University was founded and operated to educate pioneers who helped shape the history of our region and nation. In honor of that pioneering spirit that forged the foundation of SLU, the Pioneer Award is an annual recognition of a graduate who is hardworking, innovative, driven and committed to Jesuit ideals and whose actions, accomplishments and pioneering spirit have helped pave the way for others. The recipient of this award is honored at an annual ceremony held the weekend of commencement.

Review the award criteria and learn how to nominate a SLU graduate for a Pioneer Award now.

Cecilia A. Nadal, M.A.
College of Arts and Sciences, Class of 1972

Cecilia Nadal has committed her life to shining a light of hope, peace and acceptance on society’s most vulnerable, using cross-cultural engagement strategies through music, dance, drama and education.

Nadal founded Gitana Productions, a nonprofit arts and education organization, in 1996. She has produced more than 25 major international music/dance shows, more than 20 original plays, the first major cross-cultural engagement conference in St. Louis and numerous educational events to promote peace and connection across cultures. She started Global Education Through the Arts, the first community arts program in Missouri, bringing together African American and refugee and immigrant youth in South City, Ferguson and the Amherst Park area.

After the Ferguson protests, Nadal felt compelled to explore the complex issues between the police and the community. She collaborated with playwright Lee Patton Chiles, to develop the highly successful play Black and Blue and other plays such as Complacency of Silence: Darfur; My Heart is Always Shaking: Afghan Women Refugees in St. Louis.

Nadal has written two plays: Between Worlds: An American Tragedy and An Amazing Story: German Abolitionists of Missouri. The latter play and community engagement would result in the city of Hermann, Missouri, celebrating Black History Month for the first time.
