Outstanding Alumnae

In 1991, the Board of the Japanese American Women Alumnae of UC Berkeley decided to honor an Outstanding Alumna annually.  The selection would be based on the individual’s:

• academic career
• contributions to the community
• career accomplishments 

The recipients of this award have distinguished themselves in these areas and are truly deserving of this special recognition. Their names are placed on a plaque permanently displayed in the Alumni House on the UC Berkeley campus.
