The Sister Mary Frances Warde Award is the highest award conferred each year to the graduate who transferred to—or had a gap in attendance while at—Mount Mercy and best exemplifies our university mission in how they reflect, engage, serve, and live a purposeful life during their time here. 该奖项是以玛丽·弗朗西斯·沃德修女的名字命名的，她于1843年在美国创立了慈悲修女会。
克里斯汀娜是一个非传统的学生，她在获得副学士学位后来到Mount Mercy。 克里斯汀娜是性侵犯和人口贩运幸存者的倡导者，她在100多个舞台上做过主题演讲和嘉宾演讲，努力教育和告知她周围的人。 她对文学和诗歌的热爱使她参与了三年的PAHA评论，其中包括一年的编辑。 作为众多非住宿学生中的一员，她还成立了通勤俱乐部。
One nominator said of Kristina “I often found myself impressed not only at her highly skilled teaching, but also at the care and heart that was infused in her interactions with students as she met their learning needs with dignity. 克里斯蒂娜未来的学生很幸运，因为她将成为他们的老师。 She will make enormous and important impacts in our schools.”
Kristina is firmly rooted in her Christian faith and embodies the phrase “love your neighbor.”
恭喜,克里斯蒂娜!
