Each year, in conjunction with March's celebration of Women's

community with the Woman of Distinction Award. This honor is
reserved for a student, a faculty member, and a staff member
described as someone who: is an outstanding leader who has shown
commitment and dedication to improving the Butler community;
reaches out to others while valuing herself; has created a vision
and moves others toward that vision; has defined a clear role for
herself in today's changing environment; faces challenges head on
and is decisive and persistent; carries herself with dignity and
pride, but never with vanity; and is a serious woman who rules her
life with energy, integrity and love.
