Distinguished Alumnus Award
In 2008, EF established the Distinguished Alumnus Award to recognize an alumnus who has made a significant contribution to his or her field of endeavor, and proven leadership in the alumni network. The recipient's post-fellowship activities must reflect President Eisenhower's commitment to peace and productivity by working through direct personal contacts across boundaries. This award is open to anyone who has been awarded an Eisenhower Fellowship. It is presented at the Annual Meeting of the Board of Trustees.
