Centennial Celebration - Centennial Saints

As part of Carroll College's Centennial Celebration in 2009-2010, the college is honoring the people whose dedication to the college's mission has made an enduring impact on history and humanity. Those the college seeks to honor are the exceptional figures in the Carroll Family who have an abiding affiliation with the college and, because of that affiliation, lived exceptional lives of service to others, to the college and to the world community.

The college is asking the Carroll Family and the community for nominations of these Centennial Saints, exemplars of Carroll and of humankind. Nominations will be evaluated by the college's Centennial Saints selection committee, which will be accepting nominations over the next year and reviewing nominees' qualifications. Those accepted for the honor of being named Centennial Saints will be recognized in a number of ways, from feature stories in college publications and media materials to announcement at Centennial-year college events such as the President's Banquet, Commencement, and Founders' Day to a permanent display of Centennial Saints on campus.
