GLENN "DOC" A. RIVERS, ARTS '85
Winter Park, Fla.
Watch a video introduction

He got his nickname when he arrived for summer basketball camp on Marquette’s campus in 1980 wearing a Dr. J. shirt. Since then, the name Doc has been synonymous with excellence, first as a guard on Marquette’s men’s basketball team, then as an NBA player and now as head coach of the Boston Celtics. In 2008, the Celtics won the NBA title. Doc’s off-the-court work is well-known, too. He won the J. Walter Kennedy Basketball Citizenship Award in 1990 and the Rainbow Sports Awards’ Male Coach of the Year in 2000. He’s also a member of the All-Star Advisory Council for the Jr. NBA and Jr. WNBA youth basketball support programs and a Marquette Trustee. (No identifying T-shirt needed these days.)

Service to Marquette Award
ANNA CLAIR AND GEORGE J. GASPAR, BUS AD '58
Mequon, Wis.
Watch a video introduction

Formerly vice president and managing director for Robert W. Baird, George has served on so many boards and committees that it’s surprising his Gaspar Report focused on the oil and petroleum industries instead of governance and leadership. And Anna Clair has devoted so much of her time — including as a member of Marquette’s Women’s Council and to the Haggerty Museum of Art — that she could author a report of her own: on giving. Leadership, service and Marquette. It’s what George and Anna Clair believe in.
