Award: Sister Ritamary Bradley
Recipient: Jessica Davis
The Sister Ritamary Bradley Award is an annual prize given by the Women and Gender Studies Department. It recognizes excellence in undergraduate student research and writing on issues of women and gender.
This year's award-winning paper, "Support for Trauma-Sensitive Trigger Warnings," written by Jessica Davis, was chosen via blind review for a number of reasons. According to the committee that chose this paper, not only was the research question relevant, meaningful, and in keeping with our institutional values, the paper as a whole demonstrated an accurate and critically informed understanding of trigger warnings, going so far as to consider its implications in an actual study in our current campus context. The literature review was professional, the choice of instrumentation well-defended, and the paper's utilization of critical disability theory guided the author's treatment and exploration of the subject in an accessible but sound manner.
Award: Spirit of Sodexo
Recipient: Lucas Mathews
The Spirit of Sodexo award is given to a senior student staff member each year that exemplifies a true passion for being the connection of students and food service.
This person has put in a lot of time and hard work to help across campus, whether it be catering large events, being a go to person, or bridging the gap between students and Sodexo. This person must have a good attendance record and show dedication to their position.
Lucas Mathews was chosen for the 2020 Spirit of Sodexo award because he has been a staple to our catering team since the beginning of his time with us. Lucas has been with Sodexo for most of his college career. He has proven to be trustworthy, has a positive attitude, and is an incredible leader. Lucas always takes new staff members under his wing and has recruited some really valuable staff members to our team. Lucas makes work so much fun and we will miss his infectious smile when he graduates and is no longer with us! He is truly one of a kind.

Hugh Lugg has been exposed to a broad range of international politics courses at St. Ambrose, and he is very knowledgeable with the IR literature. Throughout his undergraduate program in IS, Hugh has shown an ongoing interest in global affairs particularly East Asia.

Hugh is extremely personable, has high integrity, is very diligent in whatever task he sets for himself.
Hugh is a conscientious student whose thoughtfulness and curiosity are palpable in the classroom. His coursework exhibits the fruits of his attentiveness and concern to deepen his knowledge of politics and the common good at which it aims.

Award: Frank and Dorothy "Jane" Folwell Outstanding Political Science Student

Sara Killackey's dedication to learning and service is evident in everything she does in and outside of the classroom. Her enthusiasm and good cheer enhance the quality of class discussion for all involved. Sara is perhaps most conspicuous for the humility with which she listens not only to the instructor but also to her peers and seeks to improve her already outstanding comprehension of ideas by considering the insights of others. Her coursework is consistently at the highest level, masterfully exploring complex questions with a clarity of thought and expression rare even in professional authors. These strengths are particularly notable in her capstone research work, where she is laying the groundwork for a profound analysis of the statesmanship of Thomas More. Her work in assisting Dr. William Parsons and Dr. Regina Matheson was rewarded as a co-author and co-presenter of their research at a major academic conference.
In addition, Sara has been an icon of SAU Model United Nations Society. With invaluable input from Sara, our team has always had great success at the national Model UN conferences. Because of her research methods skills and familiarity with the scholarly literature on the broader body of political science as well as her numerous co-curricular activities, volunteer and internship experiences on and off campus, Sara definitely deserves this year's Frank and Dorothy "Jane" Folwell Outstanding Political Science Award.
Award: Certificate of Achievement in Mock Trial
Sponsored by the Frank and Dorothy "Jane" Folwell Endowment in Political Science and Pre-law
Recipients: Faith McCubbin, Alyssa Kochuyt, Ashley Schuttloffel, Lane Wiklund, Lucas Buckrop, Michael Schmidt, and Victoria Thorne
Over the past two years our mock trial team lost most of its experience due to graduation resulting in the need to fill our team positions with incoming freshmen students. These seven freshmen stepped up, learned, and led with no experience in college level mock trial competitions. Their commitment to mock trial and support of one another is commendable. These freshmen have built a strong foundation for mock trial to build on in the upcoming years. We are pleased to recognize all they have achieved in so brief a time as valued members of the St. Ambrose University Mock Trial Team.

Officially named the Chris Hickenbottom Resident Advisor of the Year Award, this honor is given to one Resident Advisor as nominated by the SAU campus for their outstanding work in all aspects of Residence Life.

Given to a student staff member working in an Elevated Role – our Assistant Hall Directors and Student Hall Managers – who has gone above and beyond in their leadership role within Residence Life. Nominated by the SAU campus.
Andrew constantly impresses me with his ability to connect the importance of minuscule actions in everyday life, having massive impacts on a grander scale. During our RA trainings that we've had this year, he helped impress upon his peers the importance of their impact and how this contributes to their efficacy. Rucker is sincere and dedicated in any task that he is assigned and doesn't know the meaning of "good enough." His sincerity and desire to find the best outcome possible, allows him to provide unique options to help residents resolve issues.
Award: Resident Student of the Year
Recipient: Jess Mendenhall
This award recognizes a resident student who was nominated by the SAU campus as a stand-out member of our campus community.

Recipient: Freshman Mingle, organized by Jake Kleiner, Connor Purvis, and Matt Thole
Given to highlight an incredible program or event organized by members of the Residence Life Staff. Nominated by the SAU campus
Freshman Mingle (must be sung in Matt Thole's key) was a hit. I remember seeing hundreds of Freshmen lining up to attend and my residents said it was a hit. DEFINITELY have to do this again next year! Not only was it a good bonding experience for Freshmen, but it really boosted the morale of campus that day: a nice and controlled hang out on the lawn. That's what college is all about!
