Reaves (MDiv 2013), an award-winning producer, curator, and digital theologian, will receive the Alumni Council Service Award at the alumni awards luncheon during Reunion 2025.
The award honors his groundbreaking work at the intersection of Black culture, faith, and media. For Reaves, his calling has always been about creating with purpose—capturing sacred stories and curating cultural moments.
As curator of religion at the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture, he has led innovative projects like the gOD-Talk series, Black Religion in the Age of COVID-19, and the Black Religious Pluralism Project—documenting how Black communities reimagine and live out their faith.
“Rooted in my commitment to the Black community,” Reaves says, “my work has always been about preserving culture and inviting new conversations.”
