This award recognizes alumnae who demonstrate extraordinary support for and dedication to the college. A native of Franklin, KY, Susan Stevens Hitchcock received her B.A. in psychology with honor from Agnes Scott in 1967.

In her “SHEroes” project, Susan interviewed and profiled 60+ women of achievement in a variety of fields and in 2012 she was inducted into the Womenetics Hall of Fame for her ongoing support of women and girls.
Clearly, Susan’s other passion is Agnes Scott. She has served on the Alumnae Board since 2008, was president of the Alumnae Association 2014-16 and is currently the National Alumnae Fund Chair. Susan has also served on the Board of Trustees since 2014, is a member of the Executive Committee and chairs the Student Life Committee.
