“Both women deserve this recognition for their accomplishments,” President Jon Jay DeTemple said. “In different ways and despite graduating 30 years apart, they each model what can be achieved by following your passion and making the most of your talents. These women created opportunities where none had existed for the enjoyment and benefit of others.”
