Blaisdell Distinguished Alumni Award

The Blaisdell Distinguished Alumni Award recognizes alumni for their high achievement in their professions or community service. These are alumni who have carried the spirit of the College into the rest of the world and lived up to the famous quotation from James A. Blaisdell which is inscribed into the gates of the College: "They only are loyal to the college who departing bear their added riches in trust for mankind." Recipients of this award are selected by the Alumni Awards Committee and ratified by the Alumni Association Board. 2009 marks the inaugural year for this award.
