NOMINATION FORM
ONE WORLD ALUMNI AWARD
2015 NOMINATION FORM
The new One World Alumni Awards (OWAA) will be held at Homecoming in October, 2015. The Alumni
Association invites alumni to nominate a charity to be the 2015 beneficiary. Please complete the
following form and submit to the Alumni Office by Monday, March 2, 2015.
GOAL OF THE ONE WORLD ALUMNI AWARDS
The award winning One World Alumni Awards (formerly the One World Alumni Dinner) was designed to
align with the academic plan of Saint Mary’s University. The plan places a priority on building a tradition
of community involvement, fostering a culture of civic engagement and ensuring that social responsibility
is recognized as a hallmark of Saint Mary’s University. The Academic Plan also recognizes that the
ultimate objective of a Saint Mary’s education is to nurture and support productive, critical and
responsible citizens.
The goal of the OWAA is to increase alumni involvement with Saint Mary’s University, to raise awareness
of Saint Mary’s in both local and global communities, while at the same time reaching out to our alumni
as responsible and caring citizens of the world.
The OWAA Selection Committee, comprised of members of the SMU Alumni Association, will select a
charity which has a connection with Saint Mary’s University or an alumnus who is touching lives with the
work they do. Recognizing the limited impact that can be made with past donations ranging from $7000
to $10,000, the OWAA committee will favour organizations that are helping people on a more local and
grassroots level.
The top 3 nominated charities are expected to work with the SMU Alumni Association to sell tickets for
the Awards reception that has a capacity of approximately 400. As part of our continuing legacy, the
SMU Alumni Office will profile the selected charity 12 months after the charity has received the donation
as well as in later years.
