Congratulations to Tristen Hawatmeh, the 2024 recipient of the Maureen E. O’Rourke Marianist Student Award. 
Family spirit is a concept and characteristic that radiates from Tristen Hawatmeh. With grace, creativity, vibrancy and dedication, Tristen has embraced the Marianist Charism since grade school and joyfully embodies the characteristics of inclusivity, mission, and hospitality. As Tristen navigates daily life, he enlivens the charism and intentionally invites others to deepen their faith and like him, live a little differently and with holy uncomfort. Through his commitment to the Marianist Leadership Scholars, his Marianist Student Community, and his family and friends, the charism inspires Tristen to build community and the Church by affirming and integrating the gifts of every member. It is the gift of who Tristen is, and how he lives, that we celebrate by honoring him with the 2024 Maureen E. O’Rourke Marianist Student Award.
