Where was this award presentation usually held?

a.) The White House
b.) Always at the site of the Chi Omega Convention
c.) The Chi Omega Executive House on Grandin Road in Cincinnati
d.) Grand Central Station, NYC
Actually, the answer is the White House! Isn't that cool?

Eleanor Roosevelt was on the selection committee, so most often, the presentation of the award was made in the East Room. One year, President Eisenhower presented the award.
