The John Daum Awards

The Monsignor John Daum Campus Ministry Award 



Dedicated in the name of the first full-time chaplain of the Newman Center, the John Daum Award is given annually in appreciation for, and advancement of, Catholic Campus Ministry on the campus of Kent State University.

The award, instituted in 1995, has been given to over 80 student and non-student parishioners for their dedicated service to campus ministry at Kent State University. Each year, an awards dinner is held on the Sunday before finals week.
