General Information Features: Syracuse University - Gold Medal
Best Practice As part of Syracuse University’s ongoing development efforts to inspire alumni to stay connected with the university and "give back" in many different forms, the university bestows its most prestigious alumni award, the Arents Pioneer Medal, on three or four distinguished alumni each year. As part of the ceremony, a video is commissioned for the purpose of showcasing each recipient’s accomplishments and bonds to the university. This video honored 2006 recipient Kathrine Switzer.
