Know an alumnus who has done something great?

The Alumni Association is seeking nominations for three annual awards that recognize outstanding achievements. Nominations, together with an outline of the candidate's qualifications, should be sent to Bridget McShane, Director of Alumni Relations, at bamcs@conncoll.edu or 800-888-7549, ext. 2314, by Feb. 1.

Candidates should not be told that their names have been submitted. Awards for members of Reunion classes will be presented at the Annual Meeting during Reunion, June 1-3, 2007. The awards are:

The Harriet Buescher Lawrence '34 Prize

This prize recognizes outstanding contributions to society by any member of the CC community. Candidates should be leaders in improving society or inspiring others for good, either through direct service or through changing the climate of human life materially, socially, ethically or spiritually. The candidate's life achievements will have equaled or surpassed those of other leaders in his or her field, and should reflect the values instilled in graduates of Connecticut College.

The Alumni Tribute Award

Established in 1986, the Alumni Tribute Award honors an alumna or alumnus who has given sustained and extraordinary service to the College. Service must be in keeping with the purposes and spirit of the Alumni Association, but it doesn't have to be given through the Association. Nominees cannot be currently employed by the College or members of the Association's Board of Directors. Nominees must be approved by the Board.  

The Agnes Berkeley Leahy Alumni Award

This award, established in 1961, honors alumni who have contributed outstanding service, demonstrated by continued interest in the Alumni Association and sustained active participation in class, club, or Board of Directors activities. Candidates must be members of a class that graduated at least 15 years ago. They may not be current members of the Board of Directors and cannot be current employees of the College.
