The Rath Award Recipients

The Rath Award is named in honor of the late Rath sisters – Luise, Class of 1919; Gertrud, Class of 1922; and Virginia, Class of 1924, who were great-granddaughters of Hollins’ founder Charles Lewis Cocke. The Rath Award is given annually to an alumna or alumnae whose participation in the life of Hollins has been extraordinary and whose personal investment of time and effort in the institution over the years represents the very best of the Hollins spirit.
