Inspirational Young Alumni Award
The Inspirational Young Alumni Award was established to honor a young alumnus or alumna (graduate of the last decade) in recognition of dedication, perseverance and consistency in following their vision of the inscription on the College Gates: "They only are loyal to this college who departing, bear their added riches in trust for mankind." The winner is invited to return to campus for a short visit to interact with students in a mutually meaningful manner.
The Alumni Office receives nominations for the Inspirational Young Alumni Award from various sources: alumni, parents, faculty and staff of the College. The nominees' information is given to a committee of current students for their review. This student selection committee then discusses the candidates' highlights and talents and makes the final decision.
