THE SIMON LE MOYNE AWARD
A FOUNDERS’ DAY TRADITION
Since 1968 Le Moyne College has honored local and national figures with the Simon Le Moyne Award for outstanding leadership to the benefit of society. Past recipients,click here, have been men and women of vision.
The award represents the ideals and educational standards exemplified by the man whose name the College and the award signify. The Reverend Simon Le Moyne, a French Jesuit, was the first white man to visit the Syracuse area when the Onondaga Indiansinhabited it. Father Le Moyne established the first mission among the Onondagas in 1654. During the same year, Father Le Moyne learned of the salt wells whose economic importance to the development of the City of Syracuse is an intrinsic part of its history.
Since this award memorializes Father Le Moyne, its purpose is to recognize those who have unselfishly served the needs of their fellow man. Ideally, the recipient should be a person(s) cut of the same cloth as Father Le Moyne, an ambassador of peace and a person of faith.
The Simon Le Moyne Award is awarded at the annual Founders’ Day Gala held each October.
