The Kannerstein Award
The Kannerstein Award (formerly the Alumni Award) was established in May 2010 to honor the legacy and memory of Greg Kannerstein '63, an honored and revered alumnus. He served the College for many years as director of athletics, dean of the college and as a professor. The Kannerstein Award, the most distinguished award given by the Association for alumni activities, honors an individual who, like Greg, has provided sustained service to Haverford. It recognizes especially loyal and active support of the work of the College.

The Haverford Award
The Haverford Award supports and demonstrates the College's expressed concern for the application of knowledge to socially useful ends. It seeks to identify, reward and focus public attention on alumni who best reflect Haverford's concern with the uses to which they put their knowledge, humanity, initiative and individuality. Neither age nor service to the College is a consideration in granting the award.
