Geneva Student Receives DU’s Rising Star Award

Daniel Humphreys, a resident of Geneva, was honored with Dominican University’s Rising Star Award for demonstrating true Dominican spirit through service activities on and off campus.

Humphreys credits the development of his spirit for service to his membership in the Dominican University men’s varsity soccer program over the last three years. He has worked with PADS for the past two years as an overnight volunteer for the St. Mary of Celle shelter in Berwyn and the St. Eulalia shelter in Maywood. The PADS organization provides homeless men and women with dinner, a safe place to sleep, and breakfast. Humphreys has assisted with all facets of the PADS operation, from welcoming late arrivals to preparing meals and company. He also has been a volunteer for the Norridge Police Department.

Humphreys will graduate from Dominican University in 2009 with a degree in criminology and sociology.

Founded in 1901, Dominican University is a comprehensive, coeducational Catholic institution offering bachelor’s and master’s degrees. Dominican offers 50 undergraduate academic programs in the Rosary College of Arts and Sciences and 15 graduate programs through the Graduate School of Library and Information Science, the Brennan School of Business, the School of Education, the Graduate School of Social Work, and the School of Leadership and Continuing Studies. In the 2008 issue of America’s Best Colleges, U.S. News & World Report again ranked Dominican University in the top tier of Midwest master’s level universities and as a “best value” for the tenth consecutive year.

 

“As a student I wanted an intimate community. As an aspiring journalist I wanted a big city. Dominican gave me both—and so much more.”
