Alumni Medallion

The Alumni Medallion is awarded to distinguished alumni each Charter Day at William & Mary. The Alumni Medallion was first awarded by the Alumni Association in 1934.

"The Alumni Medallion is the highest award the William and Mary Alumni Association can bestow on a graduate of the College of William and Mary. Each year, the Alumni Association honors the recipients with a ceremony at the Sadler Center, and the recipients also process during Charter Day Ceremonies in front of classmates, family, faculty and the College community."[1] All who are on this list are recognized for their professional accomplishments, leadership, dedication to the community, and commitment to their alma mater.
