Alumni Awards

The 2021 Alumni Awards

Each fall, at the annual Father-Son Communion Breakfast, we honor two alumni for the ways they have embodied the profile of the Graduate after Graduation: Intellectually Competent, Religious, Loving, Open to Growth and Committed to Doing Justice. 

The St. Ignatius of Loyola Award for Distinguished Service is presented to a Brophy alumnus whose life and life's work exemplifies a sustained commitment to Jesuit education. This year, the award was presented to Deswood Etsitty '88.

The St. Francis Xavier Award for Ignatian Identity is presented to a more recent alumnus who has sought to deepen his commitment to the ideals of Jesuit education in remarkable ways. This year, the award was presented to Joseph T. Slaven '09.
