Achievement at the Business 91视频 (HBS) takes many forms, both inside and outside the classroom. Each year the Dean鈥檚 Award recognizes individuals whose daily lives and actions embody and further define the 91视频鈥檚 most important ideals. Five members of the Class of 2003 were honored by Dean Kim B. Clark for their outstanding contributions to the HBS community over the past two years; they include the Rev. Thomas P. Doyle, C.S.C., Moon K. Lee, Brandt B. Pyles, Douglas K. Schillinger, and Matthew J. Turner.p. Tom Doyle: Unflagging in service
鈥淔ather Tom鈥� first became known to the wider HBS community when he organized a nondenominational memorial service outside the Class of 1959 Chapel on the afternoon of Sept. 11, 2001. Two weeks later, when his Section D classmate (and fellow Dean鈥檚 Award winner) Doug Schillinger was diagnosed with cancer, he organized another service, but this time stayed in the background while section-mates offered prayers and songs in languages from Hindi to Hebrew.p. In a sheath of letters nominating Doyle for the Dean鈥檚 Award, students and faculty alike called him 鈥渦nflagging鈥� in his commitment to helping the people around him, pointing out that his acts of service ranged from counseling classmates to revitalizing the HBS Catholic community through his popular Sunday Masses. And his nominators also noted how he enriched the learning experience of classmates through his willingness to ask questions and share his wisdom about the impact of human nature on business decisions.p. A classmate told the story of how their section had presented Doyle ? a former Notre Dame football walk-on player ? with a helmet that each of them had signed, adding in his nomination letter, 鈥淭his unique act of a section unanimously purchasing and personalizing a gift to one of its own students is evidence of Tom鈥檚 special stature in the community.鈥漰. Says Doyle, 鈥淭he signatures on this helmet are more dear to me than Notre Dame鈥檚 seven Heismann Trophy winners put together!鈥漰.
