Alumni awards history

The tradition of honoring the University of Colorado Boulder’s best began in 1930 when the Alumni Association wanted to honor the beloved CU President George Norlin and the growing legions of extraordinary alumni. Thus, the George Norlin Award was born.

Since then, the association has been fortunate to recognize several generations of outstanding alumni with the Norlin Award, including President Norlin himself who received his medal in 1939 when he retired after 20 years of presidential service.

In the decades since, the association has added five prestigious awards to honor members of the university community. They include the Leanne Skupa-Lee Award, the Robert L. Stearns Award, the Alumni Recognition Award, the Kalpana Chawla Outstanding Recent Graduate Award and the Forever Buffs Student Award.

These awards are one of the university’s longest standing traditions.
