Paul Delaney Award description: “This annual award will recognize a student or a recent alum whose work sowing seeds of friendship and a spirit of philanthropy makes them an outstanding model for Trent students to emulate.  Ideally, this individual’s leadership will reverberate across cultural, religious, generational, and other boundaries. This award is a legacy to alumnus Paul Delaney ’64, who dedicated his life to the values of social responsibility and global citizenship.” - Trent Magazine
