Prize, bestowed every two years to an
American astronomer for outstanding
contributions in the field.
According to the citation for the prize,
Elmegreen was chosen as this year's
recipient "for her unselfish service to astronomy on regional, national, and international
scales, including strengthening public
appreciation and support for astronomy,
making our community more diverse and
inclusive, and acting as a role model and

mentor to generations of young astronomers." She was also cited for her decades
of work with undergraduates at Vassar and
other young astronomers.
Elmegreen is currently vice president
of the International Astronomical Union
and chair of the board of the Association
of Universities for research in Astronomy,
which oversees the Hubble Space Telescope
and all ground-based optical and infrared
telescopes.

She is past president of the American
Astronomical Society (AAS) and
co-founder of the Keck Northeast
Astronomy Consortium, which includes
Vassar, Wellesley, Haverford, Swarthmore,
Wesleyan, Colgate, Williams, and
Middlebury. Funded by the National Science
Foundation, the consortium runs summer
research projects for its students and
shares ideas on pedagogy and research.
