Henry and Donnelly Awards
The David D. Henry Award and the Howard A. Donnelly Award are given annually to the man and woman at graduation who have been judged as having made the most outstanding contributions to the University in the areas of student activities, leadership and service. These contributions must be consistent with high scholastic achievement during the recipients' entire undergraduate careers.
The David D. Henry Award was established in 1948 to honor the third University President. The Howard A. Donnelly Award was established in 1927 at the request of Mr. Howard Donnelly, a friend of the University, through a grant provided in his name.
The winners of these awards are determined by the David D. Henry/Howard A. Donnelly Award Selection Committee. The Committee is comprised of academic representatives from each undergraduate degree granting college and school of the University and from the Division of Student Development and Campus Life.
