The George Washington University graduates thousands of exceptional students every year who go on to change the world through their words and deeds. Here are a few ways that the university recognizes and celebrates these alumni accomplishments.
February 2021 marks the 200th anniversary of the founding of the George Washington University. To mark this historic occasion, we are honored to introduce the Monumental Alumni Award, a special recognition for outstanding GW alumni who have made significant contributions to society.
The Monumental Alumni Award honors alumni who have had an impact on the world through their work and service and who embody the ideals of the university. Recipients of this award have made enduring contributions that offer inspiration and exemplify the potential of a degree from GW. The Monumental Alumni Award is the highest form of recognition given by the university to a GW graduate. (Nominations are currently closed.)
The Spirit of GW Awards, formerly the GW Alumni Achievement Awards, recognizes the contributions and achievements of GW alumni and friends in each of the following categories: (Nominations are currently closed.)
The Elizabeth J. Somers Alumnae Award honors the professional accomplishments of alumna of the Mount Vernon College, Mount Vernon Seminary, and/or the Women’s Leadership Program. The award is presented annually at the Women’s Leadership Conference each spring. (Nominations are currently closed.)
The IMPACT Award is the highest form of recognition bestowed on distinguished black alumni by the Office of Alumni Relations in partnership with the GWBAA Committee. The IMPACT Award celebrates three Black alumni who have demonstrated commitment to GW. Through professional endeavors and community engagement, IMPACT Award recipients have made indelible contributions to their alma mater, their local communities, and society at large.
