Alumni Awards

After graduation, Saint Louis University alumni head out into the world to make a difference — in their fields, in their communities and in the lives of others. SLU is pleased to honor their achievements with a variety of awards.

Alumni Merit Awards

Alumni Merit Awards are given to distinguished graduates from 12 of SLU’s schools, colleges and degree-granting centers in recognition of their outstanding achievement, dedication to a chosen profession and commitment to the mission of the University.

Alumni are welcome to nominate their fellow SLU graduates for the awards. The National Alumni Board, Division of Development, academic leadership and faculty select the winners. Recipients are honored at an annual award ceremony held the week of commencement.

Review the award criteria and learn how to nominate a SLU graduate for an Alumni Merit Award now.

Pioneer Award

As the first institution of higher learning west of the Mississippi River, Saint Louis University was founded and operated to educate pioneers who helped shape the history of our region and nation. In honor of this enterprising spirit, SLU's Pioneer Award annually recognizes a graduate who is driven, hardworking, innovative and committed to Jesuit ideals, and whose actions and accomplishments have helped pave the way for others. The recipient of this award is honored at an annual ceremony held commencement week.

Review the award criteria and learn how to nominate a SLU graduate for a Pioneer Award.

Past Pioneer Award Recipients ​

2024

Gregory Frey
School of Education, Class of 2007

Steven Frey
School of Education, Class of 2009

Gregory and Steven Frey are brothers, work colleagues and Saint Louis University alumni. They both earned bachelor’s degrees in education from SLU. They both work at Benet Academy, a Catholic, independent high school near Chicago, where Gregory teaches Spanish, and Steven teaches English. They both are “men for and with others,” and they both aspire to the magis (more) that their Jesuit education calls them to live. Serving others and guiding their students to grow in greater awareness of the suffering in the world and humanity’s responsibility to help are what impel both brothers in and outside the classroom. 

Having initiated and led Benet Academy students on 12 service- immersion trips to Guatemala since 2014, they have opened doors for the high schoolers to be in solidarity with the poor, building homes for families who live in extreme poverty. They also assist with student service trips to Appalachia, spearhead their school’s annual “Christmas Drive” fundraiser to help families in the Chicagoland area, volunteer with Habitat for Humanity and are researching ways to serve some of the 35,000 new immigrants who have arrived in Chicago. Engaging in their work with eagerness, joy, energy and humor, the Frey brothers are living examples of how serving others can bear much fruit.

They inspire students and colleagues through their servant leadership and pastoral ministry. Whether as individuals or together as brothers, Gregory and Steven Frey educate the whole person in the Jesuit tradition, all for the greater glory of God.

2023

William L. Clay, Sr.
College of Arts and Sciences, Class of 1953

For more than 60 years, retired Congressman William L. Clay, Sr., has advocated for the underserved. He once said, “I have no intention of representing those powerful interests who walk over powerless people.”

After earning his degree from SLU, the native St. Louisan was drafted by the Army, where he worked to end segregation on military bases. He also helped organize anti-discrimination picket lines at restaurants, banks and grocery stores, for which he was jailed more than once.

Hoping to push for more significant change, Clay served as a St. Louis alderman for five years, and in 1968, was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives. He was the first Black person elected to represent Missouri in Congress and served for 32 years. Known for his zealous and sometimes fiery approach to discourse, Clay sponsored or cosponsored nearly 300 bills that were signed into law, including the Family Medical Leave Act, measures to raise the minimum wage and student loan forgiveness for teachers who worked in inner-city schools.

Parks, university buildings, a street and housing complexes are named in his honor. In 2013, the Poplar Street Bridge connecting St. Louis to East St. Louis, Illinois, was renamed the William L. Clay Bridge. Clay’s awards and honors number in the dozens. He holds 13 honorary degrees and has been given the keys to three cities. Clay said his greatest legacy is the William L. Clay Scholarship and Research Fund that prepares students for college. Thus far, the fund has generated more than $2 million to educate young adults who will pick up where he left off. Clay and his wife, Carol Ann, reside in Silver Spring, Maryland. 

2022

Cecilia A. Nadal, M.A.
College of Arts and Sciences, Class of 1972

Cecilia Nadal has committed her life to shining a light of hope, peace and acceptance on society’s most vulnerable, using cross-cultural engagement strategies through music, dance, drama and education.

Nadal founded Gitana Productions, a nonprofit arts and education organization, in 1996. She has produced more than 25 major international music/dance shows, more than 20 original plays, the first major cross-cultural engagement conference in St. Louis and numerous educational events to promote peace and connection across cultures. She started Global Education Through the Arts, the first community arts program in Missouri, bringing together African American and refugee and immigrant youth in South City, Ferguson and the Amherst Park area.

After the Ferguson protests, Nadal felt compelled to explore the complex issues between the police and the community. She collaborated with playwright Lee Patton Chiles, to develop the highly successful play Black and Blue and other plays such as Complacency of Silence: Darfur; My Heart is Always Shaking: Afghan Women Refugees in St. Louis.

Nadal has written two plays: Between Worlds: An American Tragedy and An Amazing Story: German Abolitionists of Missouri. The latter play and community engagement would result in the city of Hermann, Missouri, celebrating Black History Month for the first time.

2018

Dr. Lubna H. Somjee, Poughkeepsie, New York
College of Arts and Sciences, Class of 1993

Dr. Somjee is a psychologist and executive coach passionate about change, growth and the power of collective strength. As an executive coach, she works to maximize professional or leadership growth for those at varying stages of their career or business. She also works with organizations by helping to create robust, vibrant teams and organizations. Dr. Somjee is a licensed psychologist and provides psychotherapy. Additionally, she has a subspecialty in health psychology working with people managing chronic medical issues.

Dr. Somjee speaks to audiences regarding the workplace, leadership, psychology and integrative health. She has been featured in various media outlets, including NPR, Fast Company and the Poughkeepsie Journal, where she had a column for 13 years. She volunteers with various organizations to promote leadership and workplace development, diversity and inclusion, integrative health, and healthcare legislation and reform. She obtained her B.A. in psychology from Saint Louis University, her Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from the University of South Dakota, and two postdoctoral fellowships from Yale School of Medicine.

2017

Dr. Stanley L. Anderson, Kansas City, Missouri
College of Arts and Sciences, Class of 1991
College of Arts and Sciences, Graduate School, Class of 1996
School of Medicine, Class of 2001

One of the Kansas City region’s only African-American male OB-GYN physicians, Dr. Anderson was one of his area’s first da Vinci robotic surgeons. In 2014, he simultaneously chaired the OB-GYN department at HCA Research Medical Center and served patients in two other offices. Dr. Anderson also was a preceptor instructor of future doctors for Kansas City University of Medicine and Biosciences. To encourage other low-income students majoring in a health science field to attend college, Dr. Anderson began the Drs. Stanley and Tiffany Anderson Scholarship Fund at the Topeka Community Foundation in Topeka, Kansas. He passed away in August 2017 after battling cancer.
