Alumnae Anniversary Award
Alumnae Anniversary Award
The Women's and Gender Studies Department administers the Alumnae Anniversary Fund for the Recognition of Faculty Women. This fund was created in 1970 to support faculty women on the Columbia campus who are notable for their teaching excellence and/or other contributions to the education of women. Awards are given annually to outstanding faculty member at the University of Missouri. The fund and annual awards were conceived to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the admittance of women to the University. At least two nomination letters are required. One letter must be from a current MU student or a recent alum.
The call for nominations is typically sent out across our social media pages as well as via our department listservs. Nominations are accepted for the Alumnae Anniversary Award annually, any time between December 1st and February 5th. Award recipients will be notified no later than the 20th of February and recognized at a banquet this March.
The 2025 Nomination Window will open on December 1st, 2025 and closes February 5th.
