* * At the insistence of Father Putz, Oser's long-time friend and Notre Dame professor, he joined theChristian Family Movement ( CFM ) and later formed the first official CFM group in the Houston Diocese. A former board member of the city's Notre Dame Club, he also has served as its coordinator for social services and continuing education. Currently, Oser is retired after spending much of his career as a professor and researcher at the University of Houston and the University of Texas Medical School at Houston. The Young Alumni Award will be presented to Patrick Schneidau, who earned both his bachelor's and master of business administration degrees in 2000, for his inspirational accomplishments since he was graduated from Notre Dame. A former president and treasurer of the Notre Dame Club of Houston, Schneidau's dedication and leadership strengthened the club's financial organization, doubled its membership base and expanded club activities.
