White House Web site. The prize was awarded for the founding the Student Conservation Association (SCA).
On August 4 in a ceremony at the White House, President Barack Obama awarded Student Conservation Association (SCA) founder and Vassar College alumna Elizabeth Cushman Titus Putnam ’55 the 2010 Presidential Citizens Medal for “performing exemplary deeds of service for her country and fellow citizens.”
The original idea for the SCA, for which the alum won the award, began as
her senior thesis at Vassar. Putnam was a Geology major (a department we now call Earth Science & Geography). Congratulations!
