The Alumni Awards 

Each fall, we honor two alumni for the ways they have embodied the tenets of the Graduate after Graduation in their life's work: Intellectually Competent, Open to Growth, Religious, Loving 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 exemplify a sustained commitment to Jesuit education. 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. 

Annually, nominations for the alumni awards open on July 31, the Feast of St. Ignatius of Loyola, and the awards are presented during the Father-Son Communion Breakfast.
