Canterbury Awards

The Canterbury Alumni Association honors alumni, faculty, and friends of the school who embody the values at the heart of our mission - integrity, scholarship, leadership, and service. This recognition is reserved for those who have made meaningful contributions to Canterbury and their communities through exemplary leadership, generosity, and a steadfast dedication to making a positive difference in the world.

Canterbury Distinguished Alumnus Award

The Canterbury Distinguished Alumnus Award is presented annually during Alumni Reunion Weekend to an alumnus who has been selected by the Alumni Board. Founded in 2014, recipients of this award exemplify the qualities of leadership, character, service, and excellence that Canterbury seeks to instill in its students. The alumnus chosen will have demonstrated these ideals for which Canterbury stands through service to their community, their profession, or their country.
