Joseph,

Congratulations on your pending graduation from Saint Joseph's University! I am happy to let you know that we have selected you as the recipient of this year's Joseph W. Hickey Award

as a result of your very hard work and dedication in completing your business degree while exemplifying the tenets of Jesuit Philosophy. I hope that you have thoroughly enjoyed your time at Saint Joseph's, and am proud that we can bestow this award on you.

This award will be given out at the HDC/PLS Awards ceremony on May 11th to which you and up to two guests are cordially invited. This ceremony will take place in the Chapel of Saint Joseph's and begins at 5:30

pm. Immediately following the Awards Ceremony will be a reception in your honor at the Doyle Banquet Hall South in the Campion Student Center. Also, an SJU photographer will be present to take pictures.

Please let us know by the morning of April 22nd if you are able to attend and if you will be bringing any guests (up to 2). If you are unable to attend, we will mail your award to you after graduation. (We would also like to know if you are attending the graduation ceremony.)

However, we are collecting short bios from all of our award winners so that this information can be read at the awards ceremony. Would you mind taking a moment to compose a brief bio and email it back to me. For

your reference, here is an example of a bio submitted by a student in the past: JOSEPH W. HICKEY AWARD – Student Name graduated with an Associate's Degree from Name Of

Community College in 2007 and is pursuing undergraduate major in Business Administration. She has worked in the Company Name in Rhode Island prior to continuing her undergraduate studies. A true scholar, Name graduates with an summa cum laude, speaks fluent Italian, and has served as an volunteer at

Nonprofit Name while pursuing her degree. She is also a member of several distinguished honor societies including Phi Theta Kappa and Beta Gamma Sigma.

Of course, we would like you to personalize this as much as you can - please just use this sample as a guide. I know I always find it helpful to have an example when writing a personal bio. Please try and get your bio back to me by the morning of April 22nd if at all possible. Please email us at haubadult@sju.edu with

your RSVP and how many guests you intend to bring with you (up to 2). If you do not plan on attending, please let us know as soon as possible so that we will mail out your award. We cannot guarantee that you will receive them before the commencement ceremony on May 16, 2015, however. (We also ask that if you

will not be attending that you confirm your mailing address with us via email!) Best wishes as you complete your final exams, congratulations again on this remarkable achievement!

Janine
