Alumni Awards have been earned by outstanding supporters and graduates of the Goodwin College over the years. An annual general Alumni Association dinner and ceremony celebrates both their sponsorship and leadership in an event attended by key representatives of the Drexel academic community.

The Mary S. Irick Drexel Award dates back to 1932. The Key "D" Award was first presented in 1956. These and other professional attainment awards are a means by which the Goodwin College Alumni Association expresses its pride in the accomplishments of Drexel alumni. The award recipients are individuals whose accomplishments reflect credit upon the ECAA. Over the years the awards have been presented to alumni who, through outstanding utilization of their Drexel education, have attained positions of responsibility and authority in their careers.

The following is the list of awards given to the supporters and graduates of the Goodwin College. For more information, please contact Margery Fritsche .
