- Vincentian Mission Award – Call for Nominations
St. John’s University established the Vincentian Mission Award in 1993 to recognize the dedication of the many employees (administrators, faculty, and staff) who have embraced—in both their personal and professional lives—the Vincentian spirit that honors our University. I am writing to invite all members of the St. John's family to participate in designating the recipient of the award, which will be presented at the Vincentian Convocation in September.
Criteria for nominations and a nomination form are available here. Previous recipients of the award, listed below, are ineligible. In addition, the award is generally intended to be conferred on individuals other than members of the Vincentian Community or Daughters of Charity, or individuals working in offices whose primary goal is to advance the University's Vincentian mission. Nominations are to be submitted electronically no later than Friday, May 3, 2024.
As in the past, the selection of the recipient will be recommended by a committee comprised of faculty, administrators, and staff. Thank you for your participation in this important activity, which is designed to underscore our institutional commitment to serve those in need.

*Note: Due to inclement weather, the 2010 Vincentian Convocation was rescheduled from January 2010 to September 2011, at which time the 2010 award was presented. This resulted in no call for nominations in 2011, and a decision to present future awards in September of each year.
** Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, there was no call for nominations in 2020.
