The Frank J. O'Hara Distinguished Alumni Award is the prestigious annual award presented by the University and its Alumni Society, honoring select alumni who embody Scranton's Catholic, Jesuit experience and who have achieved distinction in their professional or personal endeavors. Honorees are selected based on the nominees' commitment to Ignatian values and their pursuit of professional and personal excellence. The award was established in 1981 to honor the memory of Frank J. O'Hara, past administrator, who served The University of Scranton for over 53 years
All nominees must be celebrating a milestone reunion year in 2026 (class years ending in '1' or '6') to be selected as an honoree this year. Honorees will be recognized during Reunion Weekend.
