Awards Each year, SJMC students and alumni are honored for their dedication and pursuit of excellence through scholarships and the Alumni Achievement Awards. The Annual SJMC Awards Dinner gives the SJMC an opportunity to say "thank-you." SCHOLARSHIP HONORS RENOWNED NEWS PHOTOGRAPHER James "Jim" Schweiker, Jr., JO'64, was arguably one of the best news photographers in the world. His pictures appeared in numerous magazines and on the front pages of every major newspaper in the world. Schweiker worked most of his professional life for United Press International as part of UPI's "A-list," covering the most important news stories. Schweiker photographed every president from Lyndon Johnson to Ronald Reagan. In addition to his role as a news photographer, Schweiker mentored others in the craft, helping aspiring photographers become professionals and giving them their first news assignments and press releases. Schweiker died in the summer of 2001. He was remembered in a memorial scholarship, awarded by his mother, Maxine, to Peggy Nichals, a sophomore news editor at the Times-Delphic.
