During commencement on Saturday, May 9, 2015, Alumni Council member Jamie Dillon Oestriech ’01 presented two Outstanding Senior Awards on behalf of the Alumni Association. Each year, an award is given to one male and one female from the graduating class.
The Alumni Association Outstanding Senior Award, Westminster’s most prestigious award for graduating seniors, was established in 1977 to honor a well-respected graduating senior for service to Westminster College, the city of Fulton, and the surrounding community and their living group as well as living a life of success, significance, and service while at Westminster College.
