Alumni Association Annual Awards
Individuals receiving Springfield College’s four alumni awards distinguish themselves in very different ways. Each of the four unique and equally prestigious awards is for outstanding accomplishment and service in a specific area. The four ways in which we recognize alumni are:- The Tarbell Medallion, a facsimile of R. Tate McKenzie’s “The Joy of Effort,” first presented in 1935 as a gift from Edward Norris Tarbell, Class of 1889 and given annually to an alumnus or alumna out of school at least twenty years who has demonstrated varied outstanding service over a period of time to his or her alma mater;
- The Distinguished Alumnus/Alumna Award, established by the Class of 1940 in 1966 to annually recognize professional excellence and outstanding service to community, state, and/or nation;
- The Athletic Hall of Fame, established in 1972 by the Class of 1933 to honor members of the College community for outstanding achievements on the “playing field” and/or for service, dedication, and commitment to athletics and athletic programs;
- The Young Alumnus/a Award, established by the Class of 1966 in 1974 and presented to a graduate in the Tenth Reunion Class in recognition of professional excellence and outstanding service to the College, community, state, and/or nation.
Submissions are CONFIDENTIAL. Nominees must not be informed of their nomination. Nomination deadline is March 15, 2007. Forms received after that date will be considered in 2008.
