The Alumni Service Award was initially installed in 1982, although there never seemed to be any clear direction as to the purpose of the award. It was known by several names, including the Professional Service Award (1984) and the Jim Bishop Award (1987). The award was taken out of the Hellinger ceremonies in 1988; criteria for the Alumnus/a of the Year Award included the service to the St. Bonaventure University community, what the Alumni Service Award was attempting to recognize, shortly thereafter.

The Bob Considine Award was instituted in 1978 to commemorate the longtime newspaper columnist, sports writer and talk show host who passed away in 1975. Considine was a member of the Hellinger Award Committee and was close friends with fellow members Jim Bishop, John Charles Daly and William Randolph Hearst. Originally given to anyone in the mass communication field that exemplified the moral and ethical ideals that Considine exhibited, in 1986 it became an honor exclusively for those in working in print journalism. The award was discontinued after 2005.

Douglas Edwards Award
The Douglas Edwards award was established in 1986 in honor of Edwards, a veteran CBS newsman and long-time friend of St. Bonaventure University. The longest-serving newscaster in the country (he anchored a daily network news report for 40 years without interruption, from 1948 until 1988) Edwards had a long relationship with St. Bonaventure, serving as a member of the Hellinger Award Committee and receiving a honorary degree in 1967. His devotion of reporting accurately, fairly and responsibly led to the establishment of the award, given to an individual in the broadcasting profession that exhibits the similar committment to ethical practices and extraordinary performance in the field. Edwards passed away after a battle with cancer in 1990. The award was discontinued after 2005.

The Thomas Mosser Award was established in the memory of the 1965 graduate who was killed instantly when he opened an explosive package sent by the Unabomber, Ted Kaczynski in 1994.
