Harvard Divinity School has announced three recipients of the awards
that are presented each June on its Alumni/ae Day. This year, on June 7, the
First Decade Award will be given to both Mark Cave and Jacob Schramm, and the
Rabbi Martin Katzenstein Award will be given to the Rev. Carl R. Scovel.
Cave, MTS '89, is founder and president of College Bound, a mentoring
and scholarship program for public-school students in Washington, D.C. A
native of Charlotte, North Carolina, he is also a graduate of Wake Forest
University, and is business development manager for Blaxxun Interactive, an
Internet technology company.
Schramm, MDiv '90, is founder and executive director of College
Summit, a national program based in Washington that helps economically
disadvantaged students receive higher education. A native of Denver, he is
also a graduate of Yale University, and was director of Good Shepherd Teen
Learning Center in Washington.
The First Decade Award was established in 1983 by the
Alumni/ae
Association of the Divinity School to recognize the achievements of people who
had graduated within the previous 10 years. The Rabbi Martin Katzenstein Award
was established in 1979 to recognize a Divinity School graduate who exhibits
"a passionate and helpful interest in the lives of other people, an informed
and realistic faithfulness, an embodiment of the idea that love is not so much
a feeling as a way of acting, and a reliable sense of humor."
It honors Martin Katzenstein, ThM '58, who died in 1997 while he was the
School's acting dean of students.
Scovel, STB '57, was the longtime minister at King's Chapel in
Boston, and has been a noted editor, speaker, and leader in the Unitarian
Universalist Association. The son of Presbyterian medical missionaries, he was
reared in China and is also a graduate of Oberlin College. He is president of
the Society for Promotion of Theological Education, and has been a supervisor
of ministerial students at Harvard Divinity School.
