Elmira, NY (05/27/2021) — Each year, the Elmira College Board of Trustees Prize is presented by the Trustees to students whose college experience demonstrates continual growth and development academically, socially, or in service to the College community. One of the three recipients this year is Elizabeth Hanson '21.

"In the past four years, my experiences within the classroom, with the Elmira women's ice hockey team, and working as a library assistant and Gold Key tour guide have helped me grow as an individual," said Hanson. "I am grateful for the support I have received from the Elmira College community and honored that my hard work and personal growth is recognized by being named a recipient of the Board of Trustees Prize."
