Last 22 March 2019, Xavier Ateneo held the annual Magis Awards at the Magis Roof Deck. As the premier award-giving body of the university, it recognizes the students, organizations, and formators who have excellently demonstrated the Ignatian ideals of service and excellence.
In his opening remarks, University President, Fr. Roberto C. Yap, SJ said: “Magis is the fullest possible development of each person’s individual capacities, […] and the motivation to use these developed gifts for others.”
On its 13th year, Magis Awards continues to celebrate the significant contributions of the members of the Xavier community in and outside the university. It honors the work of their hands and hearts as they tread in the path of magis, leaving a trail of hope and change for the years to come.
Magis Awards is organized by The Office of Student Affairs in collaboration with the Mission and Ministry cluster composed of the Xavier Center for Culture and the Arts (XCCA), National Service Training Program (NSTP), University Athletics Office (UAO), and Guidance and Counseling Office (GCO).
