Club Awards

Notre Dame Alumni Clubs are recognized for their efforts each year at the annual Alumni Senate in April. The award-winning clubs are selected during Senate weekend by the Alumni Clubs Committee of the Alumni Board based on recommendations of Board Regional Directors and Assistant Directors of Alumni Clubs. Criteria considered during the selection process is based on what we call the "Six Cs" for clubs - Camaraderie, Catholic Spirituality, Current Students, Community Service, Continuing Education and Communication. The awards include:
