Service Awards

Each year, the Alumnae Association recognizes specific volunteers for their efforts in support of institutional goals and initiatives and who, through their exceptional vision, dedication, service and consistent financial support, have strengthened the College community and Mawrter connections.

  • The Lifetime of Service Award is given to an individual whose lifetime commitment to volunteerism in all sectors of the Alumnae Association and College community has consistently and effectively brought Mawrters together in support of Bryn Mawr;
  • The Distinguished Service Award is given to an individual whose exemplary leadership and continuing commitment has served to shape programming and set the course for the community at the highest levels;
  • The Young Alum Service Award recognizes an individual who graduated within the last 15 years whose volunteer efforts, leadership, initiative and dedication serve as an example of our new generations’ commitment to Bryn Mawr.
