The President’s Medal for Science and Innovation was created to recognize individuals who have made significant contributions through STEM fields.
The award honors an individual who has gained prominence internationally in science, technology, engineering, or mathematics and who represents the liberal arts ideal of empowering humanity through the sciences.
The President’s Medal for Science and Innovation Advisory Committee, which includes prominent STEM faculty at Trinity College, leads the selection process, and ultimately recommends highly qualified candidates to the president. Recipients are not necessarily graduates of Trinity but have made lasting contributions to their field.
Pediatrician and geneticist D. Holmes Morton, M.D., IDP’79, H’90 will receive the 2026 Trinity College President’s Medal for Science and Innovation, which recognizes individuals who have made significant contributions to the STEM fields.
