Washington, DC - With graduation season upon us, it’s appropriate to consider exceptional achievements. Mark Madrid is one newly minted graduate that stands out. Madrid graduated from the University of Notre Dame Cum Laude with a Master in Nonprofit Administration from the Mendoza College of Business.
During the 2015 Mendoza College of Business Graduate Business Diploma Ceremony, Madrid was honored with the Rev. Theodore M. Hesburgh, CSC Founder's Award and the David J. LaBarre Community Service Award.
This is what those two honors mean:
· The Rev. Theodore M. Hesburgh, CSC Founder's Award is given to the University of Notre Dame Master of Nonprofit Administration (MNA) student who is highly-regarded by the University of Notre Dame Mendoza College of Business faculty, possesses the integrity and character consistent with Notre Dame ideals and displays leadership and scholarship within the MNA program.

LaBarre Community Service Award is given to the Master of Nonprofit Administration (MNA) student who is highly-regarded by his/her fellow MNA classmates, possesses the integrity and character consistent with Notre Dame ideals, demonstrates a willingness to help other students, and displays a commitment to both Notre Dame and surrounding communities.
Madrid is the first Fellow to complete his Master’s through a unique collaboration between the United States Hispanic Chamber of Commerce and the University of Notre Dame Mendoza College of Business.
Having earned these recognitions on his way to his Master’s, Madrid has championed college education for others by creating his own scholarships. The Mark L. Madrid Scholarships are awarded to deserving college students majoring in business from the University of Texas at Austin, the University of Notre Dame and Texas State University. Utilizing in part, Student Launcher for crowd-funding, Madrid has raised 130% of his goal of $3,000.00 for this period.
