Alumni Awards
For more than 70 years, we have recognized outstanding Washington College alumni with awards presented on behalf of the Alumni Association.
Begun in 1952, the Alumni Citation was created as a means of formally identifying and recognizing outstanding alumni. The citation is the highest honor the Alumni Association can bestow upon its members and is presented to an alumnus who has made a significant contribution to, or accomplishment in, his or her field of endeavor or in community or public service.
