BUSINESS ALUMNI AWARDS


The Distinguished Business Alumni Award
honors Olin Business School alumni who have attained distinction in their careers. Those being honored share the characteristics of leadership: progressive thinking, high standards, uncompromising integrity, commitment, courage and confidence. Their careers serve as models for all Washington University students and alumni.

The Dean's Medal is awarded to special friends whose dedication and service to Olin Business School have been exceptional. By providing wise advice, pursuing high objectives, and generating the enthusiasm and support of many others, these friends have made significant differences to the School. Special friends of this caliber greatly enhance the School's progress.

The Olin Award is presented to faculty whose research has the greatest potential to advance business. Richard Mahoney, Olin executive in residence and former chairman and CEO of Monsanto, initiated the award to highlight scholarship that has practical and performance-enhancing applications to critical management issues. The prize is a $10,000 honorarium.
