St. Catherine Medal Awarded to
Ernestine Blango '03
Citation

The St. Catherine Medal is named after Saint Catherine of Alexandria, a third century woman renowned for her love of learning. She is honored as the patron of philosophers. This award is given by Kappa Gamma Pi, the National Catholic College Graduate Honor Society, in order to recognize an outstanding senior who reflects the ideals of St. Catherine. Trinity College is a member of Kappa Gamma Pi, and nominates the recipient based upon a review of the academic, co-curricular and leadership achievements of candidates.

This year’s recipient has distinguished herself in many ways during her Trinity years. She has been a campus leader, an outstanding athlete, a trusted advisor to many students, an excellent scholar as well. She has her sights set very high, aspiring to a career in law and possibly public office some day. She has been a resident assistant since her sophomore year. She has interned with distinguished Trinity alumnae on the bench and in politics, and she now hangs out with Hillary Clinton. She has held numerous offices including the high office of Senior Class President. Please join me in congratulating Ernestine Blango, the recipient of the St. Catherine Medal.
