We’d like to introduce some amazing Jewell who received our annual Alumni Service Awards during our #100YearsOfWomen events: Sue Ann Meyer Wright, ’66, Truex Award for Lifetime Service; Sandra Lewis Jones, ’78, Distinguished Alumna Service Award, and Dr. Ruth Bax Edwards, Honorary Alumna. The Humanitarian Award honoree was Jill Ulrich McElya, ’95 (not pictured). 🏆
 
Sue Ann Meyer Wright, ’66, received the John F. Truex Award for Lifetime Alumni Service for her unwavering support of the College, including her service on the Alumni Board of Governors since 2009. The honor is reserved for alumni who graduated more than 50 years ago and who have maintained a consistent level of dedication to Jewell and its mission. 
 
The Distinguished Alumni Service Award recipient was Sandra Lewis Jones, ’78, who is serving on the inaugural diversity committee, her second term on the Alumni Board of Governors, administrator of the Black Student Association Facebook page, the 100 Years of Women Scholarship Committee and as coordinator of the first Black student alumni reunion in 2009.
 
Our Honorary Alumna Award was presented to Dr. Ruth Bax Edwards, professor emerita of nursing. In the 45 years she taught at Jewell, she touched the lives of more than 2,000 nursing students, shaping the College through her work and through her advocacy and support of students.
