Thank you for nominating a classmate for an award! Your nominee should be a member of a Reunion class (ending in 0s and 5s) and winners will be presented during Reunion Weekend. Alumni Awards for which nominations are desired are as follows:

The Eigenbrodt Cup
The Eigenbrodt Cup, presented by Miss Sallie Eigenbrodt to the college in memory of her brother, David L. Eigenbrodt, Class of 1831, is one of the greatest honors that can be bestowed on a Trinity alumnus/a. A recipient of this honor must be an alumnus/a of national or international prominence, who has rendered unusual and significant service to the college. 

The Paul E. Raether ’68 Alumni Achievement Award
Renamed in honor of Paul E. Raether ’68 on the occasion of his 50th Reunion in 2018, this award is given each year by the Trinity College Alumni Association to a member of the alumni body who has, preferably recently, distinguished him/herself in either his/her line of endeavor or beyond the call of normal pursuits. As an award given by the Alumni Association to one of its own members, it is considered to be of a singular purpose, and intended to be clearly distinct from the Eigenbrodt Trophy and the ​​Alumni Medal for Excellence.

The Kathleen O’Connor Boelhouwer ’85 Alumni Initiative Award
This award, presented by the Trinity College Alumni Association Executive Committee, in memory of Kathleen O’Connor Boelhouwer ’85, a Trinity leader, both as a volunteer and as a senior professional, annually honors that alumna or alumnus whose leadership, persuasion and activities advance the engagement of Trinity’s alumnae in the college’s excellence and reputation. The Boelhouwer Award recognizes that person each year who helps expand the number of women in leadership volunteer roles at Trinity, and/or who helps connect successful alumnae to one another and the college, and/or who helps educate alumnae about their philanthropic power in support of Trinity, and/or who increases alumnae mentoring on and off-campus, and/or help recognize and celebrate the accomplishments of Trinity women, as graduates or as undergraduates.

The Gary McQuaid Award
The Gary McQuaid Award was established by family and friends in memory of Gary W. McQuaid ’64 and in recognition of his leadership as a Trinity undergraduate and his subsequent success in the business world. The award is presented annually by the Trinity College Alumni Association to the alumnus/a who has demonstrated leadership as an undergraduate and success in the business world.

The Alumni Medal for Excellence
This medal is awarded annually to alumni who have made significant contributions to their professions, to their communities, and to Trinity College.
