Awards

Each year, Sweet Briar presents two awards to alumnae. 

Sweet Briar College Outstanding Alumna Award

This award, established in 1968 in honor for Sweet Briar’s first graduating class, the Class of 1910, may be given to graduate alumnae who have been out of college for at least 15 years in recognition of their outstanding service to Sweet Briar in a volunteer capacity. Nominations are invited from any member of the Sweet Briar family: alumnae, faculty, staff, students and the Sweet Briar College Board of Directors.
