In 2002, the business students at Edgewood College created the first student sponsored award.  The Estervig-Beaubien Excellence in Teaching and Mentoring Award was “created in honor of Professor Elaine Estervig Beaubien, whose dedication, energy and enthusiasm have inspired her students and colleagues for many years.”  This award will be presented every year by the Edgewood Business Association to an outstanding professor. In 2006, recognizing a lifetime of achievement, the Business Forum honored eight women in the community with an Athena Award Nomination. The Award honors a person who exemplifies excellence in his or her profession, gives back to the community and actively helps women realize their professional and personal potential.
