Each year hundreds of Carroll students work with the John Carroll Campus Ministry team on a volunteer basis. Others serve the university community in providing music, song, service, planning, leadership for liturgies, prayer and reflection groups, retreats, community forming activities.
Some students work in leadership capacities in several different areas and for a period of years.
The Danford Award, consisting of an engraved silver bowl or plate and a cash award, is intended to honor a student outstanding in these areas. The recipient is selected by the Campus Ministry Team from among the students working with them. The award is named for Mr. Peter Danford, a local business man located at nearby Fairmount Circle, through whose generosity this award was initiated and continues to be made available. Emily S. Shurilla Emily has been involved with many Social Justice and Volunteering activities with and beyond Campus Ministry, especially with service trips. She also helped to expand the service trips offered by Campus Ministry by organizing the Trenton Spring Break trip in 2000.
