Elizabeth P. Hoisington '40 Distinguished Alumna Award
The Elizabeth P. Hoisington ’40 Distinguished Alumna Award is presented to a graduate who, through achievements in career and or community service, embodies the principles of Notre Dame.
Winners, who have graduated no fewer than five years ago, have demonstrated loyalty to the University and achievements in career and or community. After her death in 2007, the award was dedicated to Brig. Gen. Elizabeth P. Hoisington ’40, who served our nation with leadership and vision—particularly as one of the first women to attain the rank of U.S. Army general. The 2008 award was the first given under the new name.
