The Tadd A. Harburn Scholar-Athlete Tradition of Excellence Award is
presented to the student-athletes who have best displayed the College’s
famous “Tradition of Excellence” concept in academics and athletics.
Letterwinners who have earned the highest GPA for the academic term for
their respective sport and who have contributed maximum, unselfish
effort, dedication and perseverance both on the athletic field and in
the classroom are considered for selection.
Each recipient’s name and award are inscribed on a personal plaque and
on a cumulative plaque on permanent display in the main lobby of the
Physical Education Center.
Dr. Todd and Mrs. Shirley Harburn established the award in 1997 in
honor of Tadd A. Harburn ’81, a Scot standout in baseball and football,
who exemplified the Alma College “Tradition of Excellence.”
