Honoring Loyolans Leading Extraordinary Lives

The Damen Award is named for Loyola University Chicago's founder, Arnold Damen, S.J. It seeks to honor undergraduate students and student organizations who have committed themselves to Jesuit ideals by being a true source of inspiration and leadership to the Loyola community throughout the year. These students and organizations are people who have led other students in spirit, motivation and purpose.

The Damen Awards are presented at the Student Award and Recognition Ceremony during the Loyola Weekend of Excellence each year.
