"In the space below, please provide examples of how the nominee consistently demonstrates the criteria of the award: our Ignatian ideals (Magis and Cura Personalis), commitment to the 5 C's (competence, conscience, compassion, commitment, and community) and service. Please be as specific as possible to help guide the SLU Stars committee selection process."

Selection Process

SLU Stars awards are given out twice a year during the fall and spring semesters. Those nominations that meet eligibility criteria are reviewed by members of the SLU Stars committee using the SLU Stars rubric. The committee meets to discuss and select awards.

All nominees are contracted to share they have been nominated. Nominators are also informed of award decisions.
