Awards may be made for outstanding achievement in the following categories:

  • Service to the College and/or Alumnae Association
  • Professional achievement
  • Volunteer work
  • Humanitarianism

One award is given each year to a deserving alumna.  The committee will consider both new nominations and held-over nominations of persons who were finalists for the award last year.
