Alumni Awardees

Each year, Princeton Theological Seminary honors exceptional graduates whose lives and vocations embody the Seminary’s mission and enduring values. Through the Alumni Service Award and the Distinguished Alumni Award, the Seminary recognizes alumni at different stages of their vocational journeys—those whose faithful service, leadership, and impact in the church, academy, and public life bear witness to a deep commitment to God’s call and to the flourishing of communities near and far.
