Additionally, the Distinguished Alumni Award publicly honors alumni who have performed distinguished service for Albion College through cumulative contributions or by an extraordinary act or effort that advances the College.
Up to eight Distinguished Alumni may be chosen annually. The men and women selected must meet the following criteria:
