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 & Mary Alumni Association can bestow on a graduate of the College of William & 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." All who are on this list are recognized for their professional accomplishments, leadership, dedication to the community, and commitment to their alma mater.
