Ignatian Medal for Outstanding Academic Partnership

According to the Association of Jesuit Colleges & Universities, "The distinctiveness of a Jesuit education stems from its deep-rooted history and a mission grounded in faith and intellectual rigor....Jesuit higher education remains committed to academic excellence, service, leadership and caring for the whole person." 

The Ignatian Medal for outstanding academic partnership award is conferred annually in recognition of a program/initiative that demonstrates collaboration or integration of academic and student affairs in support of student success and student learning.
