Distinguished Alumna/us Award
The Distinguished Alumnus/a Award recognizes lifelong service and achievement by a Disciples Divinity House alumnus or alumna. The recipients have been exemplars of varied forms of ministry and service; in some sense, they have each defined these forms.
The award, established in 1979, is given every other year. The Alumni/ae Council receives nominations and selects the recipient. The award is presented at a luncheon at the biennial General Assembly of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ).
Previous recipients, in reverse chronological order are:
