The Yale Athletic Department's presentation of the George H.W. Bush Lifetime of Leadership Award honors former Yale student-athletes who, in their lives after Yale, have made significant leadership contributions in their worlds of governance, commerce, science and technology, education, public service, and the arts and media. The Award has been named in recognition of George Herbert Walker Bush '48, the 41st President of the United States of America and former captain of the Yale Baseball team. Each honoree is selected by a diverse alumni Honors Committee and subsequently reviewed and approved by the Confirmation Committee. The awards are presented at the bi-annual Blue Leadership Ball the night before the Yale/Harvard football game, an event that brings together over 700 alumni and friends of Yale Athletics.
