Distinguished Alumna of the Year Award
Maureen H. Hoyler, Arts ’70, Law ’79
Washington, D.C.

Maureen doesn’t believe she’s one to judge whether she lives out the Marquette mission, but her work as president of the Council for Opportunity in Education all but affirms that she is.

Professional Achievement Award
Richard V. Poirier, Arts ’83, Law ’86
Wausau, Wis.

Rich believes success is more about the why than the how, an ideology that has helped him thrive and find meaning in his career.

 

A Person for Others Award
Maria E. Flores, Arts ’84
Milwaukee

When Maria was a student, her professors remarked at how formed and definitive her beliefs were. Today, she channels that passion and drive into her work at the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.

 

Young Alumnus of the Year Award
John W. Meuler, Arts ’04
Milwaukee

John’s first job out of college was as a volunteer teacher at Nativity Jesuit Academy. Fifteen years later, he’s now the school’s assistant principal, and his passion for education hasn’t changed.
