Distinguished Alumni and Fellows

Hopkins is proud of its alumni – talented individuals who are making outstanding contributions in their fields of endeavor. The Hopkins Distinguished Alumni Program was established in 1991 to recognize Hopkins graduates who have demonstrated extraordinary accomplishment in their professions and in service to their communities.

Hopkins continues to be an institution committed to fostering those qualities that come from a liberal arts education: learning how to learn, how to think clearly, how to express ideas effectively and how to work independently. Today, as throughout the School’s history, students learn that knowledge should be tempered by ethical judgment, consideration for others and esthetic sensibility; that far greater than academic achievement and preparation for college are a sense of curiosity and a love of learning; and that intelligence and training carry with them the obligation to serve others. The Hopkins Distinguished Alumni Award salutes individuals who exemplify these qualities. Nominations are accepted at any time during the year, and self-nominations are welcome.

Kindly email your nominations to Donna Vinci, or send by regular mail to the Hopkins Alumni Office, 986 Forest Road, New Haven, CT 06515.
