The Damen Awards
"Honoring Loyolans Leading Extraordinary Lives"
The Damen Award, named for Loyola University Chicago's founder, Arnold Damen, S.J., 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. Damen Awardees are students and organizations who have displayed exemplary leadership in the Loyola undergraduate community, live their lives in the spirit of Loyola, and light the way for other students to follow.
