Each year, the Raven Society confers an Award to recognize excellence in service and contribution to the University of Virginia. This is the highest honor that the Society can bestow on an individual. The Award is reserved to honor alumni of the University who have widely and sympathetically shared, supported, and advanced the function of this institution. Nominees need not be members of the Raven Society. The Award is not to be conferred solely for some exceptional attainment in some limited field of student activity, scholarship, or professional specialization.
Please read the full guidelines for the Raven Award before submitting the nomination form.
Please submit all alumni nominations* no later than 5 pm on Monday, October 5, 2026.
*This nomination form is not managed by the UVA Alumni Association and is not covered by the Alumni Association’s privacy policy.
If you have any questions about selection criteria, required documents, or the nomination process, please contact our Vice President, Shaadaan Burn, at ravensociety-vicepresident@virginia.edu.
