Alumnae Award of Excellence

In 1992, the Alumnae Award of Excellence was created to honor alumnae who are dedicated to living Mary’s Magnificat in the world and who exemplify the Magnificat Mission of service and leadership, are accomplished in their field, and are established as prominent leaders in their communities. The recipients of this prestigious award are honored each year at a special event.

Nominations for the Alumnae Award of Excellence are due by August 16. The award will be presented at The Magnificat Gala, which will be held on Saturday, March 15, 2025.
