Outstanding Young Alumnus or Alumna Award

The Suzanne Armacost Alumni Medal for Outstanding Community Service

To be awarded to an alumna/us who has demonstrated a clear commitment to serving a larger community through notable volunteerism, an outstanding act of selflessness or a pattern of service to humanitarian efforts and/or causes. While this definition would certainly include service to Eckerd College, it would not exclude service to others.

Suzanne Armacost passed away on February 8, 1991, leaving behind a legacy of love and dedication to all who knew her. She was married to former President Peter Armacost and was the mother of four. Her presence and strength were felt on campus and in the community. This award is dedicated to her legacy.

The William H. Kadel Alumni Medal for Outstanding Career Achievement

To be awarded to an alumna/us who has demonstrated a clear commitment to excellence in one’s career. This alumna/us, through his or her career, has received public recognition or demonstrated achievement or leadership that positively reflects the College’s vision.

In 1958, William H. Kadel helped found Florida Presbyterian College and then served as President from 1958 to 1968. This was his proudest career achievement until his death on October 14, 1991. William H. Kadel’s mission was to prepare outstanding leaders for every aspect of life. This award is dedicated to his vision.
