Ralph Gallogly, Alumni Service Award
Bachelor of Arts in History, 1994

Master of Arts in Human Resource Management, 1998 Ralph feels his responsibility is to serve the military affiliated HPU students "every minute of every day". He unselfishly gives his time both at work and during personal time to counsel students while overseeing a student affairs organization comprised of over 40 staff members. “Growing up in a family of military Veterans, I learned to operate based on high standards of commitment and integrity. Doing something you care about is important to me. I care about the people who go through the Military Campus Programs and want to give them the best experience I can.”
