In the coming weeks, you will have an opportunity to read the biographies of these extraordinary graduates, and we are sure you will agree that these individuals are truly Distinguished Graduates of our beloved Alma Mater.

The DGA Committee executed its duties with exceptional care and thought, having the difficult task of choosing from 29 outstanding nominees, each remarkable in his or her own right.

The awards will be presented in a ceremony at West Point on May 20, 2025.

The Distinguished Graduate Award is funded by a generous endowment from E. Douglas Kenna ’45 and his wife, Jean. This annual award has been bestowed upon those West Point graduates whose character, distinguished service, and stature draw wholesome comparison to the qualities for which West Point strives, in keeping with its motto: “Duty, Honor, Country.”
