The Green School Medallion

The Green School Medallion is the highest honor bestowed by our School. It is awarded to individuals whose outstanding contributions and career embody the Green School’s mission of advancing a more just, peaceful and prosperous world by fostering global engagement, driving social impact and/or advancing academic excellence. Recipients demonstrate exceptional leadership, commitment to public good and impactful contributions that promote dialogue, mutual understanding and positive change across societies. It is both a celebration of impact and an invitation to inspire the next generation of leaders.

The medallion bears the butterfly — a symbol of transformation, resilience, and purposeful evolution. It represents the belief that institutions, markets, and societies must continuously adapt to meet the demands of a changing world.

Honoring our Recipients

"Inspiring young global leaders  isn’t just about motivating them — it’s about shaping the conditions that allow them to imagine themselves as agents of change and then equipping them to act on that imagination."

- Ambassador Steven J Green

Inspiring words by Ana Botín

"We share the belief that transformation is what powers our institutions; a conviction that letting go of what works today to build what will work tomorrow is what drives long-term success."
