Saluting Extraordinary Alumnae

Each year The Study celebrates its successful alumnae with awards and recognition. The prestigious Judy Elder Alumna Award, in honour of Judy Elder ’71, is bestowed annually to a distinguished alumna, the Young Alumna Distinction Award, created in our centennial year, is presented every five years to an alumna under the age of 40, and many alumnae from a variety of backgrounds and professions are profiled in our Trillium magazine to celebrate, inspire and motivate others.

JUDY ELDER ALUMNA AWARD

In 2003, The Study created a special award in honour of Judy Elder (Class of ‘71), presented on an annual basis to a Study alumna who has distinguished herself in her chosen field of endeavour and who embodies the values that Judy embraced: heart-based leadership, ambition to excel in a chosen field, courage to break new ground and commitment to teach and inspire through mentorship.
