Awards
Alumni Award for Faculty and Staff
Established: 1963
Purpose: Awarded every other year to the faculty or staff member who has demonstrated a loyalty and devotion to ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø±¬ÍøÕ¾ not only in the fulfillment of his or her position at the College, but through active involvement in a broad number of activities and with a broad number of constituencies during his or her time at ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø±¬ÍøÕ¾. The award is presented for service and devotion to ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø±¬ÍøÕ¾, recognizing that the College in a large sense includes both students and alumni.
Alumni Service Award
Established: 1932 as Alumni Achievement Award. Name changed in 1953.
Purpose: Awarded to the alumnus or alumna whose services to ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø±¬ÍøÕ¾ most deserve recognition. The award honors a record of service rather than a single act or achievement. It is the highest honor given by the Alumni Council.
Alumni Footprints Award
Established: 2004; Renamed: 2016; Remained: 2021
Purpose: In keeping with the heralded words of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Class of 1825, this award recognizes a volunteer who has left "footprints on the sands of time" through professional, academic, and/or volunteer activities demonstrating leadership for the Common Good and a commitment to serving others.
