The Award
Susquehanna’s bronze Alumni Award medal, sculpted by the late George Tamke, depicts a woman of the Susquehannock tribe, for whom the Susquehanna River is named. The river is expressed in the arc of the medal. Members of the Susquehannock Tribe were the original inhabitants of the river valley where Susquehanna University makes its home.
