SMACKOBA Awards
The purpose of the SMACKOBA Awards is to recognise old students and staff, past and present, dead or alive, who have made significant achievements in society, and whose accomplishments, affiliations, and careers have honoured the SMACK core values of honesty and integrity, innovation, respect for human dignity, Christ-centered holistic formation, and excellence.
When did the SMACKOBA Awards start?
On review of the St Mary’s College centennial celebrations, at their meeting on April 20, 2005, the SMACKOBA Executive Committee resolved to recognise and award outstanding persons of the St Mary’s College Community.
When are the SMACKOBA Awards held?
The 1st SMACKOBA Awards were held on Smack Day, March 24, 2007. The SMACKOBA Awards are now part of the SMACKOBA Calendar and are held on the last Friday of July every other year.
How does one win a SMACKOBA Award?
Other than the SMACKOBA President’s Award which is entirely up to the discretion of the SMACKOBA President, a winner of a SMACKOBA Award will have been nominated by a subscribed member of SMACKOBA. The nomination will be sent to the Awards Committee accompanied by two (2) reasons for the nomination. The Awards Committee selects the awardee by consensus.
