Leadership & Service Award Recipients

Given to alumni who have done "good work" in any area. Formerly the "Award of Merit," it is presented to "members of our constituency who have demonstrated outstanding leadership in their careers or professions, and whose work has contributed to the betterment of their community and its citizens, and whose commitment to the college has remained strong for many years." This award can be presented at any time.

The Award of Merit was established in 1969 and was replaced in 1988 with the Leadership and Service Award.
