Honor our inspiring community of alumnae

It's a Saint Ben's tradition to recognize distinguished alumnae during Reunion with special awards. The recipients of these awards put their Saint Ben's experience to good use in their personal and professional lives, and for this we honor them. They exemplify what we all do as alumnae of the College of Saint Benedict: strengthen and build community, and above all positively impact our world.
