Each year, the Gonzaga University Alumni Association awards several members with its highest honor, the Distinguished Alumni Merit Award. Nominations come in from various sources throughout the University. Ultimately, recipients are chosen based upon their service and contributions to their families, their careers, their peers and their communities. The 2005 DAMA Awards will be bestowed in a campus ceremony to be held in October 2005.

The 2005 winners are: James Jundt, J. Richard Manning, Denise Schafer, and James Schumacher. Congratulations to our deserving recipients! Award citations and biographies to be added following the October 21, 2005 ceremony.
