The Distinguished Member Award was given to former BYU professor and J. Reuben Clark Law School dean H. Reese Hansen for his contributions to law and BYU.

Awards were also given to students. Rachael Dailey Goodwin and Benjamin Frandsen received the Student Vice President Outstanding Service Award, and the Carol Ellsworth Scholarship Award was given to Glenn Patrick Gavin, Jr.
