Colonel Donald Cook Award
This award recognizes alumni who unselfishly give of themselves in service to others. The Colonel Donald G. Cook ’56 Award was instituted by former Alumni Association President James. J. Gallagher ’51 and is considered the College’s highest honor for alumni.
This award is inspired by the example of Colonel Donald G. Cook ’56 who was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor during the Vietnam War. As a POW, he “repeatedly assumed more than his share of manual labor in order that the other POWs could improve the state of their health. Colonel Cook willingly and unselfishly put the interest of his comrades before his own well-being and, eventually, his life.” A copy of Colonel Cook’s Medal of Honor was presented to Saint Michael’s College on October 22, 2004 and is displayed in the Pomerleau Alumni Center.
This award is typically bestowed upon recipients during Reunion Weekend and most often when the recipient is celebrating a landmark reunion year. There are no limitations on how soon after graduation an alumnus/a can receive the award.
If you know of an alumnus or alumna who matches the criteria for this award, please email alumni@gmhmjsh.com and tell us who and why he/she deserves consideration.

Colonel Donald Cook Award
This award recognizes alumni who unselfishly give of themselves in service to others. The Colonel Donald G. Cook ’56 Award was instituted by former Alumni Association President James. J. Gallagher ’51 and is considered the College’s highest honor for alumni.
This award is inspired by the example of Colonel Donald G. Cook ’56 who was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor during the Vietnam War. As a POW, he “repeatedly assumed more than his share of manual labor in order that the other POWs could improve the state of their health. Colonel Cook willingly and unselfishly put the interest of his comrades before his own well-being and, eventually, his life.” A copy of Colonel Cook’s Medal of Honor was presented to Saint Michael’s College on October 22, 2004 and is displayed in the Pomerleau Alumni Center.
This award is typically bestowed upon recipients during Reunion Weekend and most often when the recipient is celebrating a landmark reunion year. There are no limitations on how soon after graduation an alumnus/a can receive the award.
If you know of an alumnus or alumna who matches the criteria for this award, please email alumni@gmhmjsh.com and tell us who and why he/she deserves consideration.
