The Gerald Sherwin ’55 Young Alumni Service Award was established in 2013 to honor an individual or group of individuals who has demonstrated exceptional service to the College’s young alumni community.
The awardee(s) shall be a Columbia College young graduate (of the past 10 years) who, by their action and support, has enhanced the community, well-being or engagement of the College’s young alumni. The award is named in honor of the late CCAA president emeritus Gerald Sherwin CC’55, aka Mr. Columbia. Sadly, we lost Jerry in 2022, but we will continue this tradition and honor his legacy.
