Alumnae Recognition

Spirit of Ruth Award

The Spirit of Ruth Award was created to recognize Sigma Alpha Alumnae who
embody the spirit of Ruth through active involvement, leadership, and commitment
to the field of agriculture.

Recipients of this award demonstrate the ideals of Sigma Alpha by living the four
pillars: Scholarship, Leadership, Fellowship, and Service in their personal and/or
professional lives.

Nominate a sister for the Spirit of Ruth Award today! We’d love for you to nominate a fellow alumna who has gone above and beyond for Sigma Alpha and as a professional woman in agriculture for this prestigious honor today. Nominate her for the Spirit of Ruth Award! Two winners are chosen each year, and nominations close on September 30th, 2026. Nominations can be completed by clicking this form: Spirit of Ruth Nomination Form.
