Thomas More Storke Award
The Thomas More Storke Award is awarded each year to one graduating senior
who has demonstrated outstanding scholarship and extraordinary service to
the University, its students, and the community. The basic criteria are
courage, persistence, and achievement. Nominees must have earned a cumulative
GPA of 3.5 or above. If possible, please attach a letter from a faculty member in support of this nomination.
If no letter is attached, the student will be required to submit a faculty letter of recommendation. (Attn: Faculty if you are only submitting an appraisal letter, please go directly to the appraisal and contact portion and complete only this portion).

outstanding leadership and superior scholarship, and who has in a particularly
innovative and creative way contributed significantly to the quality of
