Distinguished Alumni
The Rossman School Distinguished Alumni Award recognizes men and women, living or deceased, who, by outstanding achievement, exemplify the values taught by Rossman School — leadership, citizenship, creativity, humanity and love of learning. This award, presented every five years, is the highest honor bestowed to our alumni. The first Distinguished Alumni Awards were presented in 1993, coinciding with the school’s 75th anniversary celebration. Forty alumni have received the award to date. Learn more about the recipients below (* indicates deceased).
Nominations are now being accepted for the 105th Anniversary Distinguished Alumni Awards presentation. Visit the nomination form here.
Join us November 17th, 2022 as we honor our newest Distinguished Alumni! The event will be held at Rossman in the Pratt Performing Arts Center.
