The Guy Sarvis Award

The Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI) Council and the Office of the University Chaplain would like to call for nominations for the annual award in honor of Dr. Guy Sarvis.

This award was established in honor of Dr. Sarvis by Stephen Ollendorff in addition to his support of the OWU Connection. Dr. Sarvis was a Professor of Sociology at OWU and devoted much of his life to promoting and living by example the virtues and values of cross-cultural understanding and sensitivity to racial and religious diversity. This award is given to a student who has a demonstrated record of fostering cross-cultural understanding and contributing to the creation of a culture of hospitality (understood as the radical commitment to the care for others) and inclusion at OWU. This award is presented at the annual Baccalaureate service during Commencement week.
