Each year the Bethany College Alumni Association is pleased to present the GOLD Award to graduates of the last two decades who have made outstanding contributions to society, and whose achievements to date demonstrate a person who shows promise, has high aspirations and has made a difference in the lives of people around them.  The first presentation was made in 1992.  Recipients must be nominated by classmates, and selections are made by a vote within the Alumni Council.  Awards are presented during the Homecoming activities in the fall.
