<p>Sherri Babcock will receive the 2006 Distinguished Alumna
Award from Southwestern University Oct. 21. The Distinguished Alumna/us
Award is the highest honor annually awarded by The Association of
Southwestern University Alumni. Recipients exemplify the qualities of
excellence as taught and represented by Southwestern.</p>
<p>Babcock graduated from Southwestern in 1970 and was the first
student to earn an American Studies degree from the University.</p>
<p>Events surrounding Babcock's Distinguished Alumna Award
ceremony will focus on diversity - a topic she has had a passion for
since struggling as a woman in the male-dominated field of advertising.
Events planned for the day include a chapel service that will celebrate
cultural differences in worship and a forum featuring Southwestern
graduates of different backgrounds. </p>
