George K. McGuire Award
About the Award
George K. McGuire (1918 – 1972) was appointed to the faculty of the Education Center (now the School of Education) at Saint Xavier College in 1959 after receiving his Ph.D. degree from the University of Chicago. McGuire was promoted to professor in 1962 and served as director of the Education Center from 1969 through 1971. Prior to his association with the College (now a University), McGuire was assistant principal of the Laboratory School of the University of Chicago, taught at Loyola University and in the Chicago public schools and was published in the field of education. In addition to his academic and scholarly contributions, McGuire was a caring and humane person. A thoughtful speaker himself, he encouraged his students to speak well; a focused listener, McGuire encouraged his students to listen carefully and actively; a generous teacher, McGuire was a model for his students.
Each year, the School of Education celebrates the contributions of the late Professor McGuire by recognizing an alumnus or alumna for distinguished service to Saint Xavier University and the field of education.
