The Founders Medal

The president and Board of Trustees of Elmhurst University established the Founders Medal in September of 1978.

The Founders Medal proudly celebrates, before the community and the world, those citizens who have distinguished themselves through philanthropic or personal service to Elmhurst University.

The 2025 Founders Medal was given to longtime Elmhurst supporter David A. Juergens ’59.
