The award is given to recognize "commitment to and involvement in community service within the Kitchener/Waterloo area, and in a student's hometown." The award was presented to her at Awards Night by Deborah Pecoskie (BA '72), Chair of the Grads' Association Executive Committee. Seguin is a graduate of Marymount College in Sudbury, where in her final year she received the award for Humanitarian Vision, symbolizing her well-rounded academic, athletic and social success, as well as her concern for contemporary justice issues both at home and abroad. The summer before entering university, Seguin was chosen to represent Canada as one of 40 delegates at a World Youth Conference in Poland. There she was able to discuss the concerns of young adults and the changing face of the Church with other youth and with Pope John Paul II. Photo by B. Bates Active in the University Catholic Community as a lector and choir member, Seguin also continues to give talks at her home parish in Sudbury on the concerns of youth. She has helped organize various community dinners; a recent retreat for high school students, which focussed on communication; and a dinner and dance for the L'Arche community of Stratford. Since her arrival in the K-W area, Seguin has been volunteering as an aide for a kindergarten and a grade one class, working with learning disabled and special needs children. As a result of this experience, the Rotary Centre asked her to participate in a parent relief programme. Once a week, she helps out a family with three learning disabled children. Seguin hopes to graduate with a degree in Social Development Studies. She was recently selected, with the unanimous support of her peers, to be a Don at Notre Dame Women's Residence for the 1993-94 school year.

Over 250 students, faculty and staff gathered to toast the completion of another successful year, and to honour those students who have excelled in the areas of academics, athletics and contribution to College life. Master of ceremonies duties were ably carried out by graduating student Mark Temple and French professor Dr. Betsy Abbott. Departmental awards for high academic standing were won by Sandra Buffone (English), Laura Trevisan (French), Josie Tuttolomondo (History), Deana Pfanner (Italian), Stephen Klump (Mathematics), Martin Bruin (Philosophy), Tina Emili (Psychology), Andrew Kaethler (Religious Studies), and Mary Hurley (Sociology). In recognition of high academic standing and contribution to College life, graduating students Genevieve Anderson, Steve Bosnick, Katie Donohue, Audra Minchin, and Vanessa Slack all won College Awards. The College's most prestigious honour, the Zach Ralston Award, was presented to Religious Studies major Brent Charette by College President Doug Letson. This award recognizes the one graduating student who best embodies the academic, social, athletic and spiritual ideals of the College. In addition to fulfilling those qualifications, Charette also served as this year's Student Union President. Other awards presented included those in recognition of individual and team athletics, as well as those given in honour of contribution to residence life. Following the meal and awards presentation, students, staff and faculty alike put aside their cerebral pursuits to join in a little physical exertion on the dance floor.
