The Luminary Award celebrates the legacy of service leaders.

The Sullivan Award has long been one of the most prestigious student awards offered by our partner schools. Each year at the Sullivan Showcase, we honor one past Sullivan Award student recipient who has continued placing service above self throughout their lifetime.

Recognizing Faculty & Staff who are making an impact 

Recognizing Faculty & Staff who are making an impact 

Our Faculty & Staff play a critical role in the Sullivan network. The Faculty & Staff Engagement Award goes to one individual who has demonstrated extraordinary engagement in Sullivan programming over the years.

Additionally, we present Faculty & Staff Regional Service Awards to individuals who have been nominated by their school who are providing service above themselves on their campuses.

Meet our student Sullivan Fellows who are creating change.

During the cocktail reception beforehand, connect with Sullivan Fellows as they present their changemaking efforts through interactive booths.

The fellowship is a chance for students from across the Sullivan network to work together and develop projects that make a real difference in their communities and the Showcase gives them an opportunity to connect with mentors to take the next step on their journey.
