University of Iowa Hancher-Finkbine Medallion and Awards
To recognize leadership, learning, and loyalty, the tradition of awarding Hancher-Finkbine Medallions was established in 1964. They are named for the founder of the Finkbine Dinner, William O. Finkbine, and for Virgil M. Hancher, a student guest at the first dinner who served for 24 years as president of the University, and who, to an unusual degree, exemplified the three characteristics for which the awards are given. Four outstanding students and one professor are chosen for the award annually, and to a graduate who has attained special distinction.
