The Bishop William A. Hughes Award was established in 1996 to honor those who have made significant contributions to Catholic higher education. Those chosen for this award are nominated by the Awards Committee and then approved by both the president of Thomas More University and the Bishop of the Diocese of Covington, who is also the chancellor of TMU.

He has been active with the Alliance for Catholic Urban Education since 1998, currently chairing ACUE’s Development Board. Casey Guilfoyle, J.D., graduated from Thomas More in 1981. Casey has chaired the board of Covington Latin School, the 2018 Diocesan Parish Annual Appeal, and has been an active volunteer with the St. Vincent de Paul Society since 2009. She currently serves as president of the Central District (Kenton County) Council. In 2013, Casey and Mark were honored with the Marcella Strategier “Angel of Hope” Award from Catholic Charities.
Stephanie Renaker-Jansen and Richard Jansen own and operate Reminiscent Herb, Farm, Nursery & Landscaping, Inc.
