Alumni Awards

The Distinguished Service Award of the Lawrence Alumni Association was created by the Board of Directors of the Association in the spring of 1956 and presented for the first time during the 1956 Commencement weekend. The Milwaukee-Downer College Alumna of the Year award was first awarded in 1955. After the 1964 consolidation, Lawrence and Milwaukee-Downer alumni awards continued separately for a few years, as the alumni associations were still separate bodies. The associations merged in 1969, and in 1971 the LU and MDC awards were consolidated.

In 1981, the Distinguished Service Awards were split into two categories: Distinguished Achievement Awards and Outstanding Service Awards. In 1988, two awards designated for young alumni were established, and the four awards were named in honor of Marshall B. Hulbert '26, Gertrude Breithaupt Jupp M-D '18, Lucia Russell Briggs, and Nathan M. Pusey. The George B. Walter ’36 Service to Society Award was established in 1997.
