Alumni Awards Program

Established by the Alumni Executive Committee and Board of Trustees in 2009, and acknowledging lifetime achievement, the Distinguished Alumni Award is the highest honor bestowed by St. Mark’s School upon an outstanding alumna or alumnus. The award salutes the achievements of alumni whose personal lives, professional achievements, and community service exemplify the objectives of their alma mater.

The achievements of nominees for recognition as Distinguished Alumni shall include:

• Outstanding personal, business, or professional achievement, including recognition of such achievement by one’s peers.
• Significant contributions to the global community or a national, regional, or local community.
• Exemplifying in their life and career the School’s motto, Age Quod Agis.
• Sustained interest in and involvement with the School after graduation may also be considered.

The Lives of Consequence Award (LoC Award) recognizes mid-career professionals who are making a positive impact on their community and are oriented toward a purpose larger than themselves. Nominees for this award shall have graduated from St. Mark’s School within the past 25 years. These recipients may go on to be recognized with a Distinguished Award later in life, but by highlighting them earlier we hope both to create a deeper connection to the School and a more relevant role model for current students.

The achievements of nominees for recognition with a LoC Award shall include:

• Outstanding personal or professional achievement, including recognition of such achievement by one’s peers.
• Significant contributions to their local, regional, national or global community.
• Exemplifying in their life and career the School’s motto, Age Quod Agis.

Nominees demonstrating sustained interest in and involvement with St. Mark’s after graduation will be highly considered.

Given on the basis of service, loyalty, commitment and leadership, the Ethan Anthony Loney ’69 Distinguished Alumni Service Award recognizes alumni who make particularly impactful contributions to strengthen the St. Mark's School community.

This award will be conferred at the discretion of the Alumni Awards Selection Committee and will recognize alumni who:

• Served the St. Mark’s community faithfully, or inspired others to do the same.
• Have advocated for change, facilitated innovative solutions to challenges faced by members of the School community.
• Candidates may have exhibited the qualities of service and commitment in a single extraordinary endeavor or demonstrated enduring affection and attention to bettering the School over time.
