Since 1970, the Alumnae Association has bestowed its highest honor on eighty-five alumnae who exemplify the positive contributions that Cedar Crest graduates make through their careers, volunteer work and family life.
Awards may be made for outstanding achievement in the following categories:
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.
Deadline for submission is March 1, 2023. Please adhere to this deadline. Some qualified alumnae have not been considered because their nominations were dated after the deadline.
