Alumni Association Earns Award

For the 11th consecutive year, the University of Pittsburgh at Bradford Alumni Association has earned a Gold Banner Award from the University of Pittsburgh’s Alumni Association.

“A Banner Award at the Gold Level comes with a $500 scholarship, so we are most proud to be able to provide a student with financial assistance in this meaningful way,” said Lindsay Hilton Retchless ’98, director of alumni relations.

Retchless and members of the Pitt-Bradford Alumni Association board of directors will receive the award during Pitt’s homecoming weekend Friday, Oct. 24.

The Pitt Alumni Association gives the Gold Banner to constituent alumni groups in recognition of outstanding accomplishments in serving as the link between alumni and the university.

The Association’s Gold Banner Status is the highest level of award and is reserved for those groups demonstrating exceptional performance in alumni communications, student involvement and other partnerships.

PBAA board member Ward Garner ’89 said, “The Gold Banner Award is a great opportunity for the PBAA to show off its dedication and commitment to the alumni. The award is proof that PBAA is pursuing best practices in serving the needs of alumni.”

The PBAA serves alumni through Alumni and Family Weekend, and giving awards for a distinguished alumnus, volunteer and member of the faculty.

The PBAA also helps connect current students with alumni in their field during the Career Networking Luncheon held during Alumni and Family Weekend and the Backpack to Briefcase program held each January and welcomes graduates to its ranks through Graduation Central, a one-stop commencement planning fair, and the graduate dinner for graduates and their families.
